This chapter focuses on the number of facilities or buildings that DCPS and public charter schools operate. Some facilities house more than one school and some schools are dispersed across multiple facilities. Colocated facilities are those that house two different local education agencies or LEAs (either two different public charter LEAs or DCPS and a public charter LEA). In SY2023-24, there were 227 facilities housing at least one public school in Washington, DC, an increase from the 196 facilities in SY2013-14.
