District of Columbia Data Desk
Find the records behind a local education story. Start with a jurisdiction, inspect the reporting period and definitions, and download evidence you can check and cite. Coverage is source-specific. Missing or suppressed values are not zero, and similarly named measures are not necessarily comparable across states.

- Limitation
- OSSE's 2025 Report Card finance file lists 67 LEAs and has no row for I Dream PCS (LEA 345); its FY2024 and earlier figures are shown.
- Limitation
- The District of Columbia levies no school tax and holds no school budget vote. DCPS is a District agency and each public charter school is funded by the District; all are paid from the District's general fund through the Uniform Per Student Funding Formula, so there is no school tax rate, levy or bill to show.
- Limitation
- YouthBuild DC PCS is a public charter LEA, a nonprofit that employs its own staff: the District's employee salary file (DCHR) covers District government employees only, and OSSE's educator workforce files carry counts and qualifications but no pay. Charters report aggregate compensation in their audited statements (linked under fiscal transparency).
- Limitation
- OSSE's 2025-26 educator workforce file lists no 2025-26 staff for I Dream PCS: its retention sheet notes "LEA closed in 2025-26 school year."
- Limitation
- OSSE's 2024-25 and 2025-26 assessment files and its 2024-25 graduation and SAT files have no reportable figure for The Family Place PCS (no row, or fewer than 10 students tested or in a cohort).
- Limitation
- OSSE's 2024-25 advanced coursework and SAT file has no row for Washington Yu Ying PCS. OSSE computes these measures over high-school students only.
- Limitation
- NCES CCD 2024-25 lists no school under YouthBuild DC PCS (LEAID 1100059); OSSE reports the LEA as one school ("YouthBuild DC PCS", code 128), so its figures are on this LEA page and there is no separate school page.
- Limitation
- DCPS is an agency of the District of Columbia government, not a separate corporation: it publishes no audited financial statements of its own, and the DC Public Charter School Board's fiscal audits and Financial Analysis Report cover public charter LEAs only. DCPS's finances are part of the District's own financial statements.
