D.C. charter school enrollment has slight bump, while public schools show slight drop

Enrollment in the District’s traditional public schools declined slightly this academic year, breaking six years of consecutive growth, according to figures released this week by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education. But enrollment in public charter schools grew by 4.5 percent, with those institutions accounting for nearly half of all public school students in the District.
