Funding

How District of Columbia funds schools

The District funds both DC Public Schools and public charter schools through a single Uniform Per Student Funding Formula (UPSFF): a base foundation amount — $15,070 per student for 2025–26 — multiplied by grade-level weights and supplemented by weights for at-risk, English-learner and special-education students, so local dollars follow each student regardless of sector.

District-level per-pupil spending and the local/state/federal revenue split for Dyrs School District are published in the federal school-finance files — see the full-data links below for the current figures.

Accountability

Report card & state results

The District rates schools on the DC School Report Card using the STAR Framework (1–5 stars), covering achievement, growth, English-learner progress, graduation, attendance and school environment. Look up Dyrs School District on the DC School Report Card.
