Capital Village PCS

Q: Is Capital Village PCS a good school?

Capital Village PCS ranks 39 th of 70 District Of Columbia middle schools. SchoolDigger rates this school 2 stars out of 5.

Summary:

Capital Village PCS is a public charter middle school in Washington, DC, serving 108 students in grades 5-8, with a predominantly African American student body. While the school has a relatively low student-teacher ratio and high spending per student, it is underperforming academically compared to the district and nearby schools.

Academically, Capital Village PCS struggles, with only 11.2% of 7th graders and 28.9% of 8th graders proficient or better in English Language Arts, and just 3.8% of 7th graders and 10.5% of 8th graders meeting or exceeding math standards - significantly lower than the district averages. The school ranks 34 out of 49 DC middle schools for low socioeconomic status students, indicating it is not effectively supporting its most disadvantaged students.

When compared to nearby schools, the academic performance gap becomes even more apparent. For example, Friendship PCS - Woodridge International Middle and The Sojourner Truth School PCS significantly outperform Capital Village PCS in both English Language Arts and Mathematics proficiency. Additionally, some nearby schools, such as Washington Latin PCS - Anna Julia Cooper Middle School, have a more racially diverse student population, suggesting Capital Village PCS may need to re-evaluate its instructional strategies and resource allocation to better support its students.

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.
