Middle Schools in DC Prep PCS

The DC Prep PCS district in Washington, D.C. operates three middle schools that have shown a range of performance outcomes. Among the standout schools is DC Prep PCS - Edgewood Middle School, which has consistently ranked among the top middle schools in the district, maintaining a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past three years. This school's strong test scores, particularly in English Language Arts, suggest it is providing a high-quality education to its students.

In contrast, the other two DC Prep PCS middle schools, DC Prep PCS - Benning Middle School and DC Prep PCS - Anacostia Middle School, have shown more varied performance, with rankings ranging from 12th to 16th out of 69 D.C. middle schools in the 2024-2025 school year. While these schools have maintained 4-star ratings, their test scores in both English Language Arts and Math have generally lagged behind the top-performing school in the district.

Across the three DC Prep PCS middle schools, there are notable differences in key metrics such as spending per student and student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to the variations in academic performance. Analyzing these factors and developing targeted strategies to address areas of weakness, particularly in Math, could help the district's middle schools achieve more consistent and stronger outcomes for their students.
