High Schools in Girls Global Academy PCS

Girls Global Academy PCS is a public charter high school serving grades 9-12 in Washington, D.C. As the only high school in the Girls Global Academy PCS district, it provides education to a student population of 163, the majority of whom are African American (78.53%) and Hispanic (17.18%).

Academically, Girls Global Academy PCS faces significant challenges, with test scores well below the district averages. In the 2023-2024 school year, only 9.3% of students were proficient or better in DC CAPE/English II, compared to the district average of 33.5%. Similarly, in the 2022-2023 school year, only 4.57% of students were proficient or better in PARCC/Algebra I, compared to the district average of 17.16%. However, the school's low student-teacher ratio of 7.4 to 1 suggests a more personalized learning environment that could potentially be leveraged to improve academic outcomes.

Despite the academic struggles, Girls Global Academy PCS spends a significant amount per student, at $36,399, which is much higher than the typical per-student spending in the district. This raises questions about the effective allocation and utilization of resources, and whether there are opportunities to improve the return on investment. Additionally, the school's predominantly minority student population and low academic performance indicate potential equity concerns that may need to be addressed to ensure all students have access to a quality education.
