According to the State Education Office, Washington, D.C.'s 55 public charter schools this year enroll 21,866 students, an 11 percent increase from last year. The district school system, meanwhile, lost 3,190 students. Public charter schools now enroll 31 percent of the students attending district public schools. Six new schools are scheduled to open this fall, and a petition is pending with the D.C. Public Charter School Board to open seven former Catholic schools as the Center City public charter schools. The projected first-year enrollment for all of these schools together is approximately 1600.
