Summary:
Mary McLeod Bethune Day Academy PCS is the sole elementary school located in the area, serving grades PK-8. The school is a public charter institution situated in Washington, DC, and is currently ranked 64 out of 128 District of Columbia elementary schools for the 2024-2025 school year, with a 3 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.
Academically, Mary McLeod Bethune Day Academy PCS is underperforming compared to the district average. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates range from 20% to 27.8% across different grade levels, falling well below the DC average of 37.6%. Similarly, the school's mathematics proficiency rates, ranging from 10.9% to 26.3%, are significantly lower than the district's 26.4% average. This consistent underperformance in both core subjects suggests the school is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its 361 students.
Despite the school's high spending of $34,581 per student and a favorable student-teacher ratio of 8:1, these resources do not appear to be translating into improved academic outcomes. In fact, the school's ranking has dropped from 102 out of 126 in 2023-2024 to 64 out of 128 in 2024-2025, indicating a decline in performance relative to other District of Columbia elementary schools. This data suggests that Mary McLeod Bethune Day Academy PCS may need to re-evaluate its educational strategies and resource allocation to better support student learning and achievement.
