Washington Global PCS

Washington Global PCS is the sole public charter middle school serving grades 6-8 in the District of Columbia, with a total enrollment of 240 students. The school's student population is predominantly African American (93.75%), with small percentages of other racial groups. While the school consistently ranks in the top half of District of Columbia middle schools, its test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics are significantly below the district averages, suggesting academic underperformance compared to peers.

Despite the lower test scores, Washington Global PCS spends a substantial $24,655 per student, which is much higher than the typical spending per student in the District of Columbia. The school's student-teacher ratio of 14.1 is relatively low, but the high spending and low performance raise questions about the efficient allocation of resources and the effectiveness of the school's educational programs.

Over the past three school years, Washington Global PCS has consistently ranked between 21st and 24th out of 59-70 middle schools in the District of Columbia, indicating that its performance has remained relatively stable. The school's overwhelming African American student population also suggests potential issues with equity and access to educational opportunities for other racial groups in the area.
