Seed Pcs

The Seed Pcs district in Washington, DC contains just one school — The SEED PCS of Washington DC — a high school serving grades 9 through 12 with 245 students, making it a standalone district where all district-level statistics mirror the school itself. Because there is only one school in this district, direct comparisons within the district are not possible, so the most meaningful benchmarks are DC statewide averages and the school's own historical performance.

The SEED PCS of Washington DC currently ranks 35th out of 36 DC high schools for the 2025–2026 school year, placing it in the 3rd percentile with a 0-star rating. This continues a steep decline: the school ranked 25th of 34 in 2022–2023 but fell to last place (35th of 35) in 2024–2025. Academic proficiency rates are alarmingly low — just 4.4% of students are proficient in ELA and 3.1% in math, compared to state averages of 39.6% and 28.2%. Even the school's best subject, English II, has only an 8.5% proficiency rate versus the state's 38.0%. The graduation rate stands at 73.8%, nearly five percentage points below the state average of 78.7%.

Perhaps the most striking finding is the combination of exceptionally high spending and poor outcomes. The school spends $67,610 per student, yet proficiency rates remain in the low single digits, raising serious questions about resource allocation and return on investment. The student–teacher ratio of 17.1 does not suggest a small class-size advantage. Test scores are also declining year over year — ELA proficiency fell from 7.5% to 4.4% and math from 4.8% to 3.1%. For parents considering this school, these trends point to significant and worsening academic challenges that warrant careful attention.
