Summary:
Perry Street Preparatory PCS is the sole elementary public charter school serving grades PK-8 in Washington, DC that is included in this data set. Based on the available information, the school is struggling academically, with consistently below-average performance on standardized tests compared to the District of Columbia average. Despite spending a relatively high amount of $30,751 per student, the school's test scores in English Language Arts and Mathematics remain significantly lower than the district-wide averages.
Perry Street Preparatory PCS is ranked 100 out of 128 District of Columbia elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year and is rated 1 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.1% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 37.6% districtwide, and only 12.1% of students were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 26.4% districtwide. This trend of underperformance has persisted in recent years.
The school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 10.3 to 1, and the lack of information on the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic status of the student population. However, the consistently low test scores may indicate that the school is serving a disadvantaged community, which could require additional support and resources to address educational inequities. Overall, the data suggests that Perry Street Preparatory PCS needs to implement targeted interventions and review its educational strategies to improve student achievement and overall school performance.
