High Schools in Thurgood Marshall Academy PCS

Summary:

Thurgood Marshall Academy PCS is the sole high school located within the Thurgood Marshall Academy PCS district in Washington, D.C., serving grades 9-12 with a total enrollment of 338 students.

While Thurgood Marshall Academy PCS has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.6, the school's academic performance is concerning. Its four-year graduation rate of 76.1% is below the district average, and its proficiency rates in both English Language Arts (24.9%) and Mathematics (3.4%) are significantly lower than the district's averages (37.6% and 26.4%, respectively) for the 2024-2025 school year. Additionally, the school's statewide ranking has declined from 17th out of 33 high schools in 2024-2025 to 26th out of 34 high schools in 2022-2023, suggesting a deterioration in its performance relative to other schools in the district.

Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending of $38,343 for the 2023-2024 school year, the academic outcomes do not reflect the investment, indicating a need for the school to re-evaluate its resource allocation and instructional strategies to improve student learning and performance. The data highlights the significant achievement gaps that need to be addressed, as well as the potential challenges the school is facing in effectively serving its student population and preparing them for success after high school.
