How far do DC charter-school kids have to travel?

If your kid is studying in the Center City Public Charter Schools at Brightwood, he or she has to travel a median 0.5 miles every morning.
For students at Potomac Preparatory Charter School, that median travel distance increases to 5.6 miles.
A report released this month by the D.C. Public Charter School Board highlights (in PDF, alas) yet another measure of inequity in children’s school days.
It ranks charter schools by their median distance from students’ homes, and for each school maps the dispersion of the student body across the District.
Unsurprisingly, charter school students tend to travel farther than their public school peers.
45 percent of public charter schools have a median traveling distance between one and two miles.

By comparison, more than half of public schools have a median traveling distance of less than a mile.
