The following data and information that supported the 2023 Boundary and Student Assignment Study are compiled below. The information was provided during Advisory Committee meetings and town halls. The information is grouped categorically.  

Supporting Information

• Boundary Study supporting datasheet: This datasheet includes foundational school-level information (e.g., enrollment, demographics, capacity and utilization, distance traveled to school) about DCPS schools. 
• Existing school boundaries and attendance zones for SY2023-24: This map series illustrates the DCPS elementary, middle, and high school boundaries for SY23-24. 
• DCPS feeder patterns for SY2023-24: This links to the DCPS school feeder patterns as of SY23-24. A feeder pattern school is one that a student has the right to next attend after the terminal grade is completed at their current school.
• DC population forecast: The Office of Planning provided an update of the DC Population Forecasts for consideration in the Boundary and Student Assignment Study in July of 2023. 
• Distance to school: This compilation includes the median driving distance of public school students to their schools by race/ethnicity, sector, and ward of residence.
• Enrollment trends: This compilation includes information about enrollment trends over time and the type of enrollment (e.g., in boundary, out of boundary, and feeder rights).  
• PreKindergarten: This compilation includes PK3 and PK4 information about enrollment, seats offered, waitlists, and Title 1 status. 
• Public school enrollments per DCPS boundary: The spreadsheet provides the number of grade-appropriate public school students who live in each DCPS boundary, the names of public schools attended by the students living in each boundary, and the number of students from the boundary who attend that school for SY2022-23.
• Segregation: This compilation includes the shares of public school students who live in the DCPS elementary boundaries by race/ethnicity and at risk of academic failure, and DCPS elementary school boundaries that are adjacent to one another with large differences in both.
• Specialized programs: This compilation includes information about specialized programming offered in the District's public schools and information about dual language programs, college and career programming, Career and Technical Education programs, and special education self contained classrooms. 
• Student demographics and special populations: This compilation includes public school students' race/ethnic information by sector, ward, and DCPS feeder pattern; share of students receiving special education services; and share of students designated as at risk of academic failure. 
• Student enrollment pathways: The interactive page from DME's EdScape (an online webtool) shows where public school students (DCPS and public charter) enroll during transition grades, such as between elementary school and middle school, or between middle school and high school. 
• Total schools and facilities over time: This compilation includes information about the number of public schools over time, the number of schools that have opened and closed over time, and the number of schools by size of enrollment. 
• Utilization of public schools: This compilation includes information about DCPS utilization rates as of SY22-23 relying on updated information from the DC Public Education Master Facilities Plan 2023. 
• School engagements (compilation of links to relevant school meeting decks):
  • School engagements: Adjacent segregation challenges 
  • School engagements: Clear attendance zone and feeder rights 
  • School engagements: Distance to school challenges 
  • School engagements: Future housing challenges 
  • School engagements: Overutilization challenges 
  • School engagements: Specialized topics and challenges
