DC School Report Card
The DC School Report Card is an interactive website published annually by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) that helps parents understand school performance and learn about the school itself, such as the closest public transportation routes, academic programs, extra-curricular options, and the best contact person for parents and families. The DC School Report Card answers crucial questions about your child’s current school and is a key resource for planning your child’s next educational step. The DC School Report Card is available here. Historical report card data from 2018, 2019, and 2020 can be found at this link
School Accountability Scores
The Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE) is required by federal law (the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA), to measure and report overall school accountability scores for the purposes of identifying schools that need additional support. OSSE uses many different metrics to calculate summative scores including academic achievement, academic growth, attendance, English language proficiency and graduation rate. In 2023, OSSE will use an updated ESSA State Plan, which was recently approved by the US Department of Education (USED) and the DC State Board of Education (SBOE), to calculate school performance. More information on the accountability system and school performance can be found here.
