THE CHARTER SCHOOL WAS FOUNDED IN 2005 ON THE BELIEF THAT ALL STUDENTS DESERVE A QUALITY EDUCATION THAT GOES BEYOND PREPARATION AND FOCUSES ON DEVELOPING KNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTANDING AND HUMANITY. OUR ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS INCLUDE OUR CLASSICAL CURRICULUM, TOP NOTCH FACULTY, SMALL CLASSES, AND CLOSE-KNIT COMMUNITY OF DIVERSE STUDENTS AND FACULTY. LATIN WASHINGTON OPENED ITS DOORS TO 179 STUDENTS IN 2006. IN EACH OF THE NEXT FIVE YEARS, THE SCHOOL ADDED A GRADE UNTIL REACHING THE FULL COMPLEMENT OF GRADES 5-12 IN 2011-12. THE CHARTER SCHOOL PRESENTLY SERVES A DIVERSE GROUP OF STUDENTS FROM ALL EIGHT WARDS OF DC. WASHINGTON LATIN BELIEVES THAT A HIGH CALIBER CLASSICAL EDUCATION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE TO ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS AND THAT EVERY YOUNG PERSON CAN LEARN AND DESERVES GREAT TEACHERS. THE CLASSICAL MODEL OF EDUCATION AT WASHINGTON LATIN BRINGS TOGETHER THE TIMELESS TRUTHS OF GREECE AND ROME WITH THE STUDY OF CONTEMPORARY ISSUES. WASHINGTON LATIN FOCUSES ON THREE CLASSICAL LEGACIES: EDUCATION FOR CITIZENSHIP IN A DEMOCRACY, THE LATIN LANGUAGE, AND PUBLIC ORATORY. THESE ARE IMPARTED THROUGH BOTH ANCIENT TEACHING METHODS SUCH AS SOCRATIC SEMINARS AND CONTEMPORARY APPROACHES, SUCH AS CURRENT TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATIVE LEARNING PRACTICES. IN ADDITION, EACH STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO COMPLETE THREE HIGH SCHOOL LEVELS OF LATIN AND TWO OF FRENCH, CHINESE, OR ARABIC. THIS REQUIREMENT IS DESIGNED TO FOSTER THE STUDENT'S UNDERSTANDING OF OTHER CULTURES AND TO PREPARE EACH STUDENT FOR SUCCESS IN THE GLOBAL ENVIRONMENT. THE LINK BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC AND MORAL REALMS OF EDUCATION LIES AT THE HEART OF THE CLASSICAL TRADITION. WASHINGTON LATIN HOLDS HIGH EXPECTATIONS FOR ITS STUDENTS IN THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE,AS WELL AS THEIR PERSONAL AND COMMUNITY BEHAVIOR. THEY LEARN TO ASK "ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS," ENGAGE IN DIFFICULT DISCUSSIONS, INFORM THEMSELVES ABOUT POSSIBLE OPTIONS, ACT ON THEIR DECISIONS, AND OWN THE CONSEQUENCES: ALL CRITICAL STEPS TO BECOMING RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS. A RELATED COMPONENT OF OUR CLASSICAL APPROACH IS TO EDUCATE STUDENTS TO BECOME PART OF THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY. WE ENCOURAGE ALL TO CARE FOR AND RESPECT ONE ANOTHER UNDER THE MANTRA "WORDSMATTER." TO FOSTER THIS, WE GATHER THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY REGULARLY IN ASSEMBLIES THAT FOCUS ON OUR VALUES, PRAISE STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT, AND RECOGNIZE EACH OTHER'S GROWTH AND HARD WORK, ESSENTIAL TO CREATING OUR CULTURE OF COMMUNITY SUPPORT AND SHARED RESPONSIBILITY. OUR TOP NOTCH FACULTY IS THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT REASON FOR OUR CHARTER SCHOOL'S SUCCESS AND ALLOWS FOR A PERSONAL, SUPPORTIVE AND CHALLENGING ENVIRONMENT. THE ONLY WAY TO BRING STUDENTS ALONG ON THEIR OWN PATH OF EDUCATION IS TO KNOW THEM. WE INSIST ON SMALL CLASS SIZES AND AN ACTIVE ADVISORY PROGRAM TO ALLOW TEACHERS TO KNOW THEIR STUDENTS AS ADOLESCENTS AND AS LEARNERS. ACCESSIBILITY TO THE SCHOOL FACILITY, ITS FACULTY AND STAFF, AND ITS COURSES OF STUDY IS WOVEN INTO WASHINGTON LATIN'S CULTURE. SINCE ITS OPENING, THE CHARTER SCHOOL HAS REACHED THESE IMPORTANT MILESTONES: O ENROLLMENT HAS GROWN TO 705 STUDENTS AT GRADE LEVELS 5-12 AND WE HAVE SERVED MORE THAN 1,500 STUDENTS OVERALL. THE SCHOOL IS IN HIGH DEMAND FROM STUDENTS WHO WISH TO ENROLL, AND OUR WAITLIST REGULARLY NUMBERS OVER 1,000. O EVERY YEAR SINCE IT OPENED, THE SCHOOL HAS ENROLLED STUDENTS FROM ALL EIGHT WARDS. OUR STUDENT BODY IS DIVERSE, AND OUR RACIAL DEMOGRAPHICS MATCH THOSE OF THE CITY. O WE HAVE BEEN RATED TIER 1 BY THE PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD EACH YEAR SINCE THE BOARD BEGAN USING THE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK TO MEASURE CHARTER SCHOOL QUALITY. O OUR FIRST CLASS GRADUATED IN 2012, AND FIVE OTHERS HAVE FOLLOWED FOR A TOTAL OF 425 WASHINGTON LATIN GRADUATES. IN BOTH 2012 AND 2013, OUR FIRST TWO GRADUATING CLASSES HAD THE HIGHEST GRADUATION RATES (93% AND 96%) OF ANY NON-SELECTIVE PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. OUR AVERAGE GRADUATION RATE IS 86%. O APPROXIMATELY 86% OR MORE OF EACH SENIOR CLASS HAS BEEN ACCEPTED TO COLLEGE. OUR 425 ALUMNI HAVE RECEIVED MORE THAN 27 MILLION IN SCHOLARSHIPS, INCLUDING SEVEN POSSE SCHOLARS, TWO CHILDREN'S DEFENSE FUND BEAT THE ODDS SCHOLARS, THREE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY TRACHTENBERG SCHOLARS, A HERBERT H. DENTON JR. SCHOLAR, AND A GATES MILLENNIUM SCHOLARSHIP FINALIST. THREE OF OUR GRADUATES HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO MILITARY ACADEMIES, INCLUDING THE U.S. COAST GUARD, U.S. AIR FORCE, AND WEST POINT. IN THE MOST RECENT DC-WIDE STANDARDIZED TESTING (PARCC ASSESSMENT, ADMINISTERED EACH SPRING), WASHINGTON LATIN STUDENTS SCORED AT OR NEAR THE TOP OF BOTH ENGLISH/LANGUAGE ARTS (ELA) AND MATHEMATICS TESTS. IN FACT, OUR ELA SCORES WERE THE HIGHEST OF ANY NONSELECTIVE DCPS OR PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL IN THE DISTRICT. 11770588 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false true true true false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false true 27 0 180 true true true false false false false false false false false false X 13 13 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false X PETER ANDERSON 2022231111 5200 2ND STREET NW WASHINGTON DC 20011 ANN ELIZABETH LOVETT PRESIDENT 3.00 X X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER B WILKINSON VICE-PRESIDE 3.00 X X 0 0 0 TIM MORGAN TREASURER 3.00 X X 0 0 0 KIMBERLY L COLE SECRETARY 3.00 X X 0 0 0 MARK CAVE BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 CHRISTINA ERLAND CULVER BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 RAGINI DALAL BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 MARIA DEMEKE BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 ALEXANDRA ECONOMOU BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 RUSSELL GREIFF BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 PATRICK MARA BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 HUNTER RAWLINGS III BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 TALHIA TUCKER BOARD MEMBER 3.00 X 0 0 0 PETER ANDERSON HEAD OF SCHO 40.00 X 156170 0 10682 DIANA SMITH PRINCIPAL 40.00 X 119669 0 9550 CATHERINE CROMWELL DIR DEV & CO 40.00 X 103055 0 5502 GEOVANNA IZURIETA DIR OF FINAN 40.00 X 75453 0 7251 454347 32985 3 false true false VENPOR INVESTMENTS LLC 250 AMERICA WAY 321 OXON HILL MD 20745 TRANSPORTATION 304100 LATIN JANITORIAL SERVICES 518 ONEIDA PLACE NW WASHINGTON DC 20011 CLEANING 179532 REVOLUTION FOODS 6219 COLUMBIA PARK ROAD CHEVERLY MD 20785 FOOD SERVICES 139937 3 355058 504326 859384 PER PUPIL ALLOCATION 900099 9707149 9707149 PER PUPIL FACILITY ALLOWANCE 900099 2228524 2228524 STUDENT FEES 900099 475571 475571 12411244 75615 75615 13346243 12411244 75615 361017 331336 21511 8170 6407445 5880625 381794 145026 153198 140922 8897 3379 580459 533946 33708 12805 528611 485148 31498 11965 21981 21981 161327 148063 9612 3652 208980 202113 4977 1890 159192 146103 9486 3603 46906 37525 9381 824991 682402 126273 16316 63584 58356 3789 1439 820663 753188 48900 18575 1097877 1007609 65418 24850 42630 39125 2540 965 DIRECT STUDENT COST 1032022 1032022 AUTHORIZER FEE 114900 103410 11490 STAFF DEVELOPMENT 114774 108993 5781 FEES AND LICENSES 62891 57721 3747 1423 21048 21048 12824496 11770588 778802 275106 677359 2060181 7750801 7753566 301113 342266 79598 106418 68436 56285 21269233 4362148 17957748 16907085 50000 248490 26885055 27474291 960748 873361 18205 5800 17744495 17728324 45148 15789 18768596 18623274 X 7538637 8425766 577822 425251 8116459 8851017 26885055 27474291 521747 212811 X false true X true false X 20103205 3462635 16640570 1166028 899513 266515 16907085 LEASE PAYABLE 15789 15789 13354905 8662 8662 13346243 13346243 12833158 8662 8662 12824496 12824496 true true true true true true true false false false false false false false false true false true SCHEDULE E, LINE 3 THE SCHOOL IS A PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOL AND IS OPERATING UNDER A CONTRACT WITH THE DC GOVERNMENT.
