DC public schools. This dataset contains points representing public schools. It was created for the D.C. public schools and later added to the DC Geographic Information System (DC GIS) for the D.C. Office of the Chief Technology Officer (OCTO). This dataset includes all identifiable DCPS public elementary, middle, education campus's, senior high, and special education schools as well as learning centers. Does not include private or charter schools. School locations were identified from a database from the DC Public Schools, Office of Facilities Management. Current for the 2017-18 school year.

This layer contains points representing locations for charter schools.

This data contains the official 2016-2017 assessment performance results for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College (PARCC) and Multi-State Alternate Assessment (MSAA) assessments in ELA and mathematics. This also includes historical performance information from the 2015-16 and 2014-15 PARCC and MSAA administrations.

2018 DC School Report Card. The sum of the student group scores using all applicable STAR framework metrics. This is a number from 0 – 100 points. Overall STAR score for the school based on all applicable framework scores and student groups. Star value assigned to the school based on the STAR score.1, 2, 3, 4, or 5. Supplemental:Metric scores are not reported for n-sizes less than 10; metrics that have an n-size less than 10 are not included in calculation of STAR scores and ratings.At the state level, teacher data is reported on the DC School Report Card for all schools, high-poverty schools, and low-poverty schools. The definition for high-poverty and low-poverty schools is included in DC's ESSA State Plan. At the school level, teacher data is reported for the entire school, and at the LEA-level, teacher data is reported for all schools only.On the STAR Framework, 203 schools received STAR scores and ratings based on data from the 2017-18 school year. Of those 203 schools, 2 schools closed after the completion of the 2017-18 school year (Excel Academy PCS and Washington Mathematics Science Technology PCHS). Because those two schools closed, they do not receive a School Report Card and report card metrics were not calculated for those schools.Schools with non-traditional grade configurations may be assigned multiple school frameworks as part of the STAR Framework. For example, a K-8 school would be assigned the Elementary School Framework and the Middle School Framework. Because a school may have multiple school frameworks, the total number of school framework scores across the city will be greater than the total number of schools that received a STAR score and rating.Detailed information about the metrics and calculations for the DC School Report Card and STAR Framework can be found in the 2018 DC School Report Card and STAR Framework Technical Guide (https://osse.dc.gov/publication/2018-dc-school-report-card-and-star-framework-technical-guide).
