"I decided to invest in Capital City not simply for the students who are fortunate enough to attend this school, but because it is a model that can be replicated in other schools to help students throughout our city."

— Rob Falk, Former Capital City Board Member

Capital City Expenses for the 2023-2024 School Year


Capital City is committed to transparent fiscal responsibility. The D.C. Public Charter School Board has commended Capital City year after year for its fiscal responsibility. The non-profit database Candid recommends to donors that an organization should spend no more than 24% of its budget on administrative costs; Capital City spends far less.
