Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom Public Charter School is considered to be the elder statesman among dual-language public charter elementary schools in Washington, D.C. It is old by charter school standards: Stokes was founded in 1998, well before the charter school boom of the 2000s, with just thirty-five students. It now serves 485 students in pre-K to fifth grade across two campuses in the Brookland and East End neighborhoods. Key to understanding Stokes is its mission "to prepare culturally diverse elementary school students to be leaders, scholars, and responsible citizens who are committed to social justice." This report discusses how a focus on diversity runs throughout the school's work across many domains, including student enrollment, staff recruitment, and curriculum development.
