The DC Public Charter School Board describes charter
schools as "independently-operated public schools
that are open to all District residents, regardless
of their neighborhood, socioeconomic status, academic
achievement, or ethnicity. There are no admission
tests or tuition fees. Parents and students choose
to attend a particular charter school because its
unique focus, curriculum, structure, size, environment
and other features meets the needs of those students."
