This standout school has consistently maintained a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranks 23 out of 126 elementary schools in the District of Columbia for the 2023-2024 school year.
The school's academic performance is exceptional, with students outperforming the district average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics on the DC CAPE and PARCC assessments across grades 3-5.

Additionally, the school's higher per-student spending of $20,998 and lower student-teacher ratio of 10.5 suggest a well-resourced educational environment.
While Washington Yu Ying PCS is a standout school in the Washington, DC area, there are a few areas where the school's proficiency rates are lower than the district average, such as 3rd-grade English Language Arts. Identifying and addressing these areas could further improve the school's already impressive performance and serve as a model for other schools in the region.
