Summary:

Maya Angelou PCS is a public charter school district in Washington, D.C. that serves high school students in grades 9-12. The district consists of a single school, Maya Angelou PCS - High School, which has a total enrollment of 212 students.

The student population at Maya Angelou PCS - High School is predominantly African American, making up 97.64% of the student body. The school's academic performance, as measured by standardized test scores, is significantly below the district average, with only 5.1% of students proficient or better in English II and 2.6% proficient or better in Algebra I. The school has consistently ranked in the bottom third of high schools in the District of Columbia, receiving a 0 or 1 out of 5 stars from SchoolDigger in recent years.

Despite the school's high per-student spending of $44,866, which is significantly higher than the district average, the low academic outcomes suggest that simply investing more money may not be the sole solution to improving educational opportunities for students. The school's low student-teacher ratio of 12.4 could be a strength, but it does not seem to be translating into better academic results, indicating that there may be other factors, such as curriculum, teaching practices, or school culture, that need to be addressed to support student learning and success.
