Summary:
The Paul PCS - International High School is the sole high school in the Paul PCS district, serving students in grades 9-12. While the school is ranked 14th out of 46 high schools in Washington, D.C. and has a 4 out of 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, it faces some challenges in terms of declining performance and significant gaps in math proficiency.
The school's four-year graduation rate for the 2023-2024 school year is 76.1%, which is lower than the district and state averages. In terms of academic achievement, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate of 33.8% in 2024-2025 is slightly below the district and state averages, while its Mathematics proficiency rate of 7% is significantly lower. The school's high spending of $32,812 per student does not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes, as evidenced by the declining performance and achievement gaps.
However, the school's small class sizes, with a student-teacher ratio of 9.1 to 1, could be a positive factor in supporting student learning. Overall, while Paul PCS - International High School is a relatively high-performing school within the Paul PCS district, it faces challenges in improving its academic performance, particularly in mathematics, and ensuring that its high spending translates into better outcomes for students.
