Middle Schools in Paul PCS

Paul PCS operates a single middle school, Paul PCS - Middle School, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 313 students. The school is part of the Paul PCS district, which is ranked 14 out of 46 districts in Washington, D.C. and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Paul PCS - Middle School is a relatively strong-performing school within the D.C. education system, ranking 14th out of 69 middle schools in 2022-2023 and 28th out of 70 in 2023-2024. The school's 4-star rating from SchoolDigger indicates it is performing above average compared to other D.C. middle schools. However, the school's academic performance is mixed, with 35.3% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the D.C. average of 37.6%, but only 13.4% proficient or better in math, significantly below the D.C. average of 26.4%.

The school's high per-student spending of $32,812 and low student-teacher ratio of 8.9 suggest it has access to significant resources, but this does not seem to be translating into consistently strong academic outcomes, particularly in math. The school's performance has also fluctuated over the past few years, with a drop in its ranking and math proficiency rates from 2022-2023 to 2023-2024. Monitoring these trends and identifying targeted strategies to improve student learning, especially in math, will be important for the school's continued success.
