Summary:
There is only one middle school located in the Social Justice PCS district in Washington, D.C. - Social Justice PCS. This school serves grades 5-8 and has a total enrollment of 152 students, the majority of whom are African American (90.13%).
Academically, Social Justice PCS is struggling, with proficiency rates on standardized tests that are significantly lower than the district averages in both English Language Arts and Mathematics across multiple grade levels. For example, on the 2023-2024 DC CAPE assessments, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 11.5% to 36.7% in ELA and 4.2% to 20% in Math, compared to district averages of 35.2% to 38.1% in ELA and 11.2% to 22.4% in Math.
Despite having access to substantial resources, with a per-student spending of $26,745 and a low student-teacher ratio of 8.2 for the 2022-2023 school year, Social Justice PCS is not translating these resources into strong academic outcomes for its students. This suggests that the school may need to focus on improving instructional practices, providing targeted interventions, and addressing any underlying systemic issues that may be contributing to the performance challenges.
