Summary:
The data provided focuses on a single elementary school, Creative Minds International PCS, a public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Washington, D.C. With an enrollment of 587 students, the school has a diverse student population but consistently underperforms the District of Columbia average on academic assessments.
Creative Minds International PCS is ranked 70 out of 126 District of Columbia elementary schools and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's proficiency rates on the DC CAPE and PARCC assessments are significantly below the district average in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across all grade levels. For example, in 3rd grade, the school's proficiency rates were 12.9% in ELA and 14.8% in Math, compared to the district's 28.2% and 29.9%, respectively.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $26,864 and a low student-teacher ratio of 10.8, the academic performance data suggests that the school is struggling to effectively educate its students. The diverse student population, which includes 47.02% African American and 22.83% Hispanic students, may present both opportunities and challenges in meeting the unique needs of the school's learners. Further investigation is needed to understand the root causes of the school's underperformance and identify strategies for improvement.
