Abstract:

DC Commission on the Arts and Humanities (DCCAH) goal is to ensure that every child has access to a robust and high quality education in, though, and about the arts by the time he or she graduates from a public high school in the District of Columbia. For this report, the principals of 234 schools, including 111 district schools and 123 charter schools/campuses, were asked to complete an on-line survey to provide detailed information on arts education in his or her school. Data show at least 85% of elementary, 50% of middle and 42% of high school students participate in at least one arts course with music and visual arts being the most popular. In addition, 65% of all DC schools have long term partnerships with cultural organization, which is significantly higher than what is seen in other states.
