Number of Public School Facilities

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). When filtering by sector, the count of colocated facilities are those that have at least one public charter school (when filtering for public charter) or facilities that include a DCPS school and a public charter school (when filtering for DCPS). In SY22-23, there were 224 public school facilities in Washington, DC, an increase from the 197 facilities in SY13-14.
