Washington DC Charter Schools

Charter schools are independently-operated public schools that are open to all District residents, regardless of their neighborhood, socioeconomic status, academic achievement, or ethnicity. There are no admission tests or tuition fees. Parents and students choose to attend a particular charter school because its unique focus, curriculum, structure, size, environment, and other features meet the needs of those families. Enrollment is on a space-available basis. When a charter school has reached its maximum enrollment, a waiting list is developed, and a lottery system is used as spaces become available. Public Charter Schools receive public funds based on the number of students they enroll, as do all District of Columbia public schools.
