Langley Elementary School

Summary:

Langley Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Washington, DC, serving grades PK-5 with a student population of 338. The school is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) district, which is ranked 26 out of 47 districts in DC and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Langley Elementary School faces significant challenges in terms of academic performance, with consistently low test scores and a bottom-tier ranking among DC elementary schools. While the school has a higher percentage of White students (20.71%) compared to the surrounding schools, which tend to have a majority African American student population, its academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly lower than the district and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, only 13.6% of 4th-grade students and 3% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 40.6% and 38.3% for the DCPS district, respectively. Langley Elementary has consistently ranked in the bottom quarter of DC elementary schools, with a ranking of 114 out of 126 schools in the 2023-2024 school year and a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The nearby schools, such as Walker-Jones Education Campus, J.O. Wilson Elementary School, and the various Friendship PCS, Two Rivers PCS, Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS, KIPP DC, DC Prep PCS, Harmony DC PCS, and Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS public charter schools, generally outperform Langley Elementary in terms of academic achievement and school rankings. The low academic performance of Langley Elementary may be influenced by factors such as the socioeconomic status of the student population, the quality of teaching and leadership, and the availability of resources and support services.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
