WHO WE ARE

DC Prep is a high performing network of public charter schools serving over 2,100 preschool through 8th-grade students across six campuses in Wards 5, 7, and 8. We’re proud of the high bar we set for ourselves to achieve results–our students deserve our best! We recognize that how we support our students to be successful is just as important as the results we achieve, which pushes us to reflect on questions such as:

How can we facilitate our students’ academic, social, and emotional development?
How can we support our team members’ professional growth and personal ability to do this work long-term?
How can we engage our students’ families as our own?

While this work is hard, it’s worth it – we believe in the transformative power of education, the can-do-itness of our students and staff, and the joy that comes from engaging in meaningful work with people we care about and trust!

Here’s how we drive results:

Rigorous academic focus. Our Preppies receive the highest level of academic preparation through standards-based instruction, daily targeted interventions, and meaningful assessments.
Social-emotional learning. We have always had a dual mission of academic and social-emotional skill development. Our research-based SEL curriculum is integrated into daily instruction, helping students leverage their personal values to strengthen their self-awareness, social awareness, and responsible decision-making skills and create a school-wide culture of empathy and reflection.
Commitment to reflection and refinement. Our results tell us that we are moving in the right direction, but there’s further to go to ensure that every student receives a transformative education. As a team, we regularly reflect on our programmatic model to see what’s working and where we can get better.

THE OPPORTUNITY

DC Prep is looking for a hands-on data leader to keep our data systems, assessments, and compliance work running at a high level, and to help our leaders get even more out of the data we have. A new state assessment (CAPE 2.0) is resetting every school’s baseline in DC, AI is changing how people interact with data, accountability frameworks continue to evolve, and you’ll guide the network through these changes. You’ll build on a strong foundation and lead a small team whose work matters every day for more than 2,100 Preppies.

What you’ll own

Reliable data and systems: Keep student data accurate, connected, and on time across PowerSchool, DeansList, and our assessment platforms, and lead the state reporting and compliance work the network depends on.
Assessment and accountability: Co-manage our LEA assessment strategy, lead the move to CAPE 2.0, and help leaders understand what changing accountability rules mean for our schools and our network’s ability to meet our ambitious goals.
Insight for decisions: Be a thought partner to the Chief Program Officer, Academic Program Team, and Schools Team, helping shape the questions we ask and turning data into clear insights for our biggest decisions, from attendance and special populations to curriculum, assessment, and student outcomes.
Working smarter: Use AI and automation in two ways: to take routine work off our plates, and to help school and program leaders see what’s happening with students sooner and act on it. Student privacy comes first, and people stay in charge of decisions.
Leading the team: Coach and grow a small Data Team, and roll up your sleeves alongside them.

Success looks like: accurate, on-time data and state submissions; a smooth CAPE 2.0 transition with no surprises; compliance work that runs with accuracy and confidence; leaders using a focused set of measures; and routine work getting faster each year. Alongside keeping our data systems running strong, you’ll help leaders strengthen their ability to use data to choose high-impact actions:
