Ingenuity Prep PCS

Summary:

Ingenuity Prep PCS is the sole public charter school serving grades PK-8 in the Ingenuity Prep PCS district of Washington, D.C. With a total enrollment of 792 students, the school's performance on standardized tests consistently falls below the district average across all grade levels.

Despite spending significantly more per student ($31,208) than the district average, Ingenuity Prep PCS has seen a decline in its overall ranking, dropping from 80th out of 126 elementary schools in 2023-2024 to 97th out of 128 in 2024-2025. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.1% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the district average of 37.6%, and just 12.1% were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the district average of 26.4%.

While the school maintains a lower student-teacher ratio of 8.1, the data suggests that Ingenuity Prep PCS is struggling to effectively educate its students and meet the academic standards set by the district. Further investigation into the school's practices, resource allocation, and student demographics would be necessary to better understand the root causes of its underperformance and identify potential areas for improvement.
