Summary:
Breakthrough Montessori PCS is the only elementary school in this data set, serving 383 students in grades PK through 6 at 6923 Willow Street NW in Washington, DC. Because it is the sole school, there are no other elementary schools to compare it against, so the analysis focuses on how it performs relative to its own district, DC state averages, and its own trends over time.
The school's 2025-2026 rank is 66 out of 124 DC elementary schools, placing it at the 47th percentile with 2 stars. Within the Breakthrough Montessori PCS district, it ranks 24 out of 46 at the 48th percentile with 3 stars. Overall ELA proficiency is 30.5%, just below the district's 31.0% and well below the state's 39.6%. Math proficiency is 16.6%, in line with the district but far below the state's 28.2%. The clearest bright spots are in upper-elementary reading: 4th grade ELA proficiency is 42.8% and 5th grade is 41.4%, both above state averages. By contrast, 3rd grade is a major concern, with only 12.5% proficient in ELA versus 31.1% statewide, and 18.8% in math versus 40.5% statewide.
Encouragingly, the school improved from 2024-2025 to 2025-2026, with ELA rising from 29.2% to 30.5% and math from 13.3% to 16.6%. Its rank has fluctuated from 61st (52nd percentile, 3 stars) in 2023-2024, down to 76th (41st percentile) in 2024-2025, then up to 66th (47th percentile) in 2025-2026, so it has not fully regained its earlier standing. The school invests heavily at $27,545 per student with a student-teacher ratio of 16.6. Math proficiency is the most urgent priority, while upper-elementary literacy is the strongest area. Science proficiency, at 15.4% for 5th grade, also trails the state's 20.4%. No free/reduced-price lunch data is reported, which limits the ability to contextualize these scores relative to student need.
