IFF: Public Policy and Research Department (2012).
The Deputy Mayor for Education commissioned the Public Policy and Research Department of IFF, an expert in school quality issues, to conduct an analysis of the geography of school quality in the District of Columbia. Quality Schools: Every Child, Every School, Every Neighborhood, is a supply and demand analysis with the question, “What neighborhoods in the District of Columbia have the greatest need for performing seats?” and at the heart of this study. 39 neighborhood clusters were developed by the DC Office of Planning for community planning purposes and are approximate representations of the neighborhoods contained within them. All enrollment, capacity, and grade ranges listed are from the 2010-2011 school year, the year for which these schools were analyzed. DCPS and Charter school performance tiers are listed separately in the legend below only for clarification of map symbology. They were analyzed together in the IFF needs assessment.
