Summary:
Washington Global PCS is the sole middle school located in the District of Columbia, serving students in grades 6-8. With an enrollment of 240 students, the school has a predominantly African American student population (93.75%). However, the academic performance of Washington Global PCS raises some concerns, as the school consistently underperforms the District of Columbia averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency across all grade levels.
In the 2023-2024 school year, Washington Global PCS ranked 24th out of 70 DC middle schools and received a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. This ranking has declined slightly over the past three school years, from 21st in 2021-2022 to 22nd in 2022-2023 and 24th in 2023-2024. The school's per-student spending of $24,655 for the 2022-2023 school year is significantly higher than the typical per-student spending in the District of Columbia, raising questions about the effective utilization of these resources.
While the high per-student spending and the school's demographic composition may warrant further investigation, the primary concern lies in the academic performance of Washington Global PCS. The school's proficiency rates in both ELA and Mathematics are consistently lower than the District of Columbia averages, suggesting a need for targeted interventions and strategies to improve student learning and achievement. Addressing these performance gaps could help the school better support its students and enhance their educational outcomes.
