Summary:
Creative Minds International PCS is the sole school in this data set, serving grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 587 students in Washington, D.C. While the school boasts a diverse student population, with nearly equal representation across African American, White, and Hispanic students, its academic performance as measured by standardized test scores lags behind the district average. The school's statewide ranking has fluctuated in recent years, ranging from 51st out of 128 District of Columbia elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 70th out of 126 in 2023-2024.
Despite its relatively high spending per student of $26,864 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, Creative Minds International PCS has struggled to translate these resources into strong academic outcomes. In 3rd grade English Language Arts, for example, the school scored 12.9% proficient or better, compared to the district average of 28.2%. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving its instructional practices and support systems to better serve its diverse student population.
Overall, while Creative Minds International PCS stands out for its diverse student body, its academic performance, as reflected in its fluctuating statewide ranking and below-average test scores, indicates that there is room for improvement in the school's educational offerings and outcomes. Parents and community members may want to closely monitor the school's progress and advocate for targeted interventions to help raise student achievement levels.
