Summary:
The Friendship PCS district in Washington, D.C. is home to two high-performing high schools: Friendship PCS - Collegiate Academy and Friendship PCS - Technology Preparatory High School. Both schools have predominantly African American student populations and have shown steady improvements in their statewide rankings and academic performance over the past few years.
While both schools have lower proficiency rates compared to the District of Columbia average in subjects like English Language Arts and Mathematics, Friendship PCS - Technology Preparatory High School outperforms Friendship PCS - Collegiate Academy in several key areas, such as Algebra I and Geometry. This may be attributed to the higher spending per student and lower student-teacher ratio at Friendship PCS - Technology Preparatory High School.
Both schools have improved their rankings and ratings over the past few years, with Friendship PCS - Technology Preparatory High School ranking 13th out of 34 D.C. high schools in 2023-2024, up from 22nd out of 30 in 2021-2022, and Friendship PCS - Collegiate Academy ranking 14th out of 34 D.C. high schools in 2023-2024, up from 20th out of 30 in 2021-2022. However, the lack of racial diversity in both schools' student populations is an area that the Friendship PCS district may want to address to provide a more inclusive learning environment for all students.
