DescriptionIn the fall of 2003, DC Prep opened its first campus: a small middle school with 100 students in 4th and 5th grade. Over the past eight years the school has expanded significantly, growing to three campuses and, in the 2011-12 school year, will serve 1,000 students. The Edgewood Elementary Campus enrolls children in preschool - 3rd grade; the Edgewood Middle Campus serves 4th-8th graders. DC Prep's newest campus, Benning Elementary, currently enrolls children in preschool - 2nd grade and will add 3rd grade next year.DC Prep's students have shown significant academic gains. On the 2011 DC-CAS, 72% of students overall were proficient or advanced in reading and 85% proficient or advanced in math. Our 8th graders - the students who have been at DC Prep the longest - posted even more impressive scores, with 100% proficient or advanced in reading, and 100% achieving those levels in math. Another powerful metric of our students' academic and personal achievement is their high school and college acceptance rate. The majority of the class of 2011 will attend a selective college-prep high school. Schools to which DC Prep students were offered admission include Georgetown Visitation, The Field School, Stuart Hall, Foxcroft Academy, Don Bosco Cristo Rey, DeMatha Catholic High School, School Without Walls, and Banneker High School. The remaining students are enrolling in charter schools known for their rigor and college focus. In the spring of 2011, DC Prep's first class of alumni graduated from high school. The majority of the class enrolled in college for the fall of 2011. DC Prep's alumni have been accepted to 42 different colleges and universities, including George Mason, Georgetown, University of Virginia, William and Mary, Hampton, Morehouse, Rochester Institute of Technology, Pine Manor, North Carolina A&T, and Cal Arts.We intend to continue to increase the percentage of students in each graduating class who are bound for the highest caliber high schools, ensuring that all students are on track for bright academic futures in rigorous high schools and colleges.Description

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11Information to complete the Form 990 is provided to the preparer by DC Prep's contracted accounting service, its COO and CEO. Once the initial draft is completed, the 990 is circulated to the Finance and Real Estate Committee of the Board of Directors for review. The Finance and Real Estate Committee is responsible for recurring in-depth review of the organization's financials. The 990 is also circulated to the full board prior to submission.
Members of the Board of the Directors and key employees complete a conflict of interest form on an annual basis that is reviewed by the CEO for any potential conflicts. The organization also reminds employees of the policy in the employee manual, which employees acknowledge receiving each year. Any board member who believes him or herself to have a conflict of interest in a decision on a specific matter is required to recuse him or herself from the discussion and vote on said matter.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c
The CEO works with members of the Governance Committee of the Board of Directors, using comparative compensation data of organizations of similar size in the charter management industry, to determine annual compensation of officers and key employees. Compensation of the CEO is presented to the board by the Chair of the Governance Committee in executive session of a regularly scheduled board meeting. The CEO is not present for the discussion. As it takes place in executive session, the notes from that discussion are not a part of the regular minutes for the board meeting. The Chair of the Governance Committee has since provided a written description of that discussion that includes those board members present and acknowledges their unanimous decision. No members present in the session had a conflict of interest with the arrangement. To draw up its recommendation for compensation, the Governance Committee made use of data of comparable organizations (multiple-campus charter schools) drawn up by NewSchools Venture Fund, an independent 501(c)(3) which makes charitable grants to high performing education organizations and which conducts research on charter schools. The data showed that the CEO's compensation was generally in line with organizations of similar size and achievement.Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15
These documents are available to the public upon request. Also, many of the governing documents and the financial statements are available from the DC Public Charter School Board, DC Prep's authorizer.Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19
