Making Schools Work Better for All Children Charter Schools in District of Columbia Law: Passed in 1996 Rank : 3rd strongest of the nation's 40 charter laws CER Grade : A Schools Students POLITICS: SCORE: Washington, DC boasts one of the strongest charter laws in the nation. With 39 charter schools, and 15% of the student population in charter schools, its success and health underscore the benefits of strong laws. The District, like many states, has its share of challenges with the usual bureaucratic tinkering, but DC’s crop has an open hearing from the District’s two chartering authorities, has permitted parents and companies to run schools, is given a substantial amount of funding and is autonomous from government entities. Charter School Laws Across the States: Ranking Scorecard and Legislative Profiles , January 2003. CROWD PLEASIN': More good news comes out of the nation's capital where this year some 15 percent of Washington, DC students are enrolled in the District's 39 charters schools, providing an option to thousands of parents in a system that has been broken for years. Predictably, as the charter school population has steadily grown, enrollment in District schools has declined. The bad news is that some 1,000 students are being prevented from joining them as almost all D.C. charters are full, and lack of facility space is severely stunting charter growth. According to charter operators, dozens of suitable locations, unused school buildings and other similar facilities are not available for consideration or use by the charters, often because D.C. itself won't make them available.

Visit to the District of Columbia's Charter Schools Community Academy Public Charter School The first school visited was The Community Academy Public Charter in Northwest, DC, with Fonda Sutton, the school’s director and Kent Amos, founder of The Urban Family Institute and driving force behind the Academy. Amos gave the philosophical background for the school’s creation, which comes from his experience with the violence and crime that claimed the lives of several of the children who he has mentored and taken into his family. Amos is committed to "creating a world where children plan for college, not for funerals." In his charter school, children are respected for their abilities, helped with special needs and encouraged to achieve. According to Amos, the school has to look at the substantive difference between how they educate a child and how they prepare him/her to be a citizen in their community. The Community Academy is a neighborhood-based, multiple campus charter that offers primary through secondary education. Next year they will add another site in another location within the city. Currently a Pre K-7 grade school, the Academy is preparing to accept classes of students that will bring enrollment to 4,000, up to grade twelve. A nine-member board of community members monitors the school. The school seeks to offer children a ‘nurturing village’ experience by including social services and education to family members. Sponsors of the Academy hope to create a neighborhood in which "families have the resources necessary to realize their potential, individually and collectively." This goal, they believe will best allow a child to reach his/her full potential and become a responsible adult who actively pursues lifelong learning opportunities.
