Harmony DC PCS


Summary:

Harmony DC PCS is a public charter school district in Washington, D.C. that operates a single elementary school, Harmony DC PCS - School of Excellence. The school serves a predominantly African American student population and has struggled with consistently low academic performance compared to the District of Columbia averages.

Despite spending $29,852 per student, which is higher than the district average, and maintaining a relatively small class size with a student-teacher ratio of 8.8, the school's academic outcomes have fluctuated over the years, with its statewide ranking ranging from 56th out of 128 DC elementary schools in 2022-2023 to 103rd out of 122 in 2018-2019. The percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and Mathematics has been significantly lower than the district averages, suggesting that the school may be facing challenges in effectively educating its students and preparing them for academic success.

While the school's higher spending and smaller class sizes could indicate a focus on providing individualized attention and support, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic performance for the students. This raises questions about the school's educational strategies, resource allocation, and the factors contributing to its inconsistent performance over the years. As parents and community members seek high-quality educational options for their children, the data suggests that Harmony DC PCS may need to re-evaluate its approach to better serve the needs of its students and the surrounding community.
