Summary:
The Capital City PCS district in the District of Columbia contains only one elementary school, the Capital City PCS - Lower School, which serves students from pre-kindergarten through 4th grade.
The Capital City PCS - Lower School is a low-performing school, ranking 108 out of 128 elementary schools in the District of Columbia and receiving a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates on the DC CAPE assessments, is significantly below the district average across all grades and subject areas. For example, in 4th grade, only 18% of students are proficient in ELA compared to the district average of 39.6%, and only 14% are proficient in Math compared to the district average of 31.5%.
Despite the school's high per-student spending of $32,709, which is significantly higher than the district average, and a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 11.4 to 1, the Capital City PCS - Lower School is struggling to provide a quality education to its 326 students. The school's poor academic outcomes and low ratings suggest that the school's educational approach and resource allocation may not be effectively meeting the needs of its students.
