Summary:
The Rocketship Education DC PCS district operates three elementary schools in the District of Columbia, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade. While the district as a whole faces challenges, one school, Rocketship PCS - Infinity Community Prep, stands out as a relative success story.
Rocketship PCS - Infinity Community Prep has the highest statewide ranking among the three Rocketship schools, with a 3-star rating and a ranking of 90 out of 126 District of Columbia elementary schools. This school also boasts the highest test scores, with significantly more students proficient or better in both English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. In contrast, the other two Rocketship schools, Rocketship PCS - Rise Academy and Rocketship PCS - Legacy Prep, have lower rankings and test scores that lag behind the district and state.
The data also reveals significant racial disparities within the Rocketship Education DC PCS district. Rocketship PCS - Legacy Prep and Rocketship PCS - Rise Academy have student populations that are over 97% African American, while Rocketship PCS - Infinity Community Prep has a more diverse student body. This suggests that there may be systemic issues within the district that need to be addressed to ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
