Middle Schools in KIPP Dc Pcs

The KIPP DC Pcs district in Washington, D.C. operates 6 middle schools, serving students in grades 5-8. These schools, located in the heart of the nation's capital, face a mix of academic challenges and strengths based on the available data.

Among the standout schools, KIPP DC - KEY Academy PCS shines, ranking 23rd out of 70 D.C. middle schools and boasting the highest proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. In contrast, schools like KIPP DC - Northeast Academy PCS and KIPP DC - WILL Academy PCS have seen their state-wide rankings drop significantly in recent years, suggesting a concerning trend of declining academic performance.

Across the KIPP DC middle schools, the student populations are overwhelmingly African American, ranging from 97.14% to 99.38% of the enrollment. While these schools spend between $21,833 to $25,385 per student and maintain relatively small class sizes, they consistently underperform the District of Columbia average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency rates, particularly in the upper grades. This gap in academic achievement is an area of concern that warrants further investigation and attention.
