Summary

Maury Elementary School is a public PK–5 elementary school in Washington, DC's Capitol Hill neighborhood, serving 559 students as part of District of Columbia Public Schools. Maury Elementary School is one of the highest-performing elementary schools in the District, earning a 5-star rating and a statewide rank of 5 out of 124 schools in the 2025–2026 school year — placing it in the 96th percentile. In 2025–2026, 80.6% of students were proficient in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, roughly 36 and 47 percentage points above the DCPS district averages, respectively. This academic strength is consistent across every grade level, with all grade and subject combinations scoring above 74% and 3rd-grade math standing out at 88% proficiency. The school has remained in the top tier of DC elementary schools for nearly a decade, never falling below the 79th percentile since 2014–2015.

Within its immediate neighborhood, Maury is the clear academic leader. Its closest competitor, Ludlow-Taylor Elementary School, posts strong ELA scores at 72.1% but trails Maury by 24.1 percentage points in math. Most other nearby schools, including Payne Elementary School, Watkins Elementary School, and Shirley Chisholm Elementary School, cluster in the 40–50% range for both subjects. The contrast with Miner Elementary School is especially striking: Miner spends nearly $40,000 per student and has proficiency rates below 10%, while Maury spends about $20,859 per student and reaches 80% proficiency.

Maury achieves these results while spending less per student and using a higher student–teacher ratio than most nearby schools, challenging the assumption that lower class sizes are necessary for high achievement. The one relative area for growth is science — 30% of 5th graders were proficient in 2024–2025, which still exceeds district and state averages but falls well short of Maury's own ELA and math rates. For parents seeking a reliably high-performing public elementary school in DC, Maury combines elite test scores, sustained excellence over time, and notable efficiency — making it a standout option in the Capitol Hill area.
