DC PCSB is proud to share its 2026 Annual Report, commemorating 30 years of public charter schools in the District while highlighting the progress made during SY 2025–26. More than a reflection on the past year, the report looks ahead to the future of public charter education and DC PCSB's role in ensuring schools continue to thrive.
The report spotlights the people who make DC's public charter school community so special. You'll read inspiring stories of alumni who returned to work at the schools that helped shape their futures, parents serving as leaders on charter school boards, and students whose artwork is featured throughout the publication. Together, their stories remind us that the impact of public charter schools extends far beyond the classroom.
