Summary:
Girls Global Academy PCS is the sole public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in the Girls Global Academy PCS district of Washington, DC. With a total enrollment of 163 students, the school has a predominantly African American student population (78.53%), which is significantly higher than the overall district average.
Academically, Girls Global Academy PCS struggles to meet the performance standards of the district. The school's proficiency rates in core subjects like Algebra I (4.57%) and English II (9.3%) are well below the district averages. Despite spending $36,399 per student, which is significantly higher than the typical per-pupil spending in the district, the school's overall ranking among District of Columbia high schools is 18 out of 34, with a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.
One potential bright spot is the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.4, which is lower than the district average and may indicate a focus on smaller class sizes and more individualized attention. However, this has not yet translated into improved academic outcomes for the students. Further investigation is needed to identify the root causes of the school's underperformance and determine how to best support the educational needs of its predominantly African American student population.
