Summary

Stoddert Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Washington, DC's District of Columbia Public Schools system, serving 425 students. From 2014–15 through 2024–25, the school never ranked lower than 7th in DC and earned 5-star ratings every year, placing #1 in 2016–17 and #2 as recently as 2024–25. In 2025–26, however, Stoddert slipped to #13 out of 124 DC schools — still a 90th-percentile, 5-star result, but its lowest rank in available history.

Stoddert's academic profile shows real strengths in STEM. On the most recent DC CAPE assessments, 75.3% of students were proficient in math — more than double the DCPS average of 33.3% and the state average of 28.2%. Science is a standout too: 65.1% of 5th graders were proficient, versus 23.7% districtwide and 20.4% statewide; among nearby schools, only Janney Elementary School posted a higher 5th grade science score. While Key Elementary School (82.8%) and Janney (87.4%) lead the cluster in math, Stoddert's math results are above the average of the 10 nearby comparison schools.

The 2025–26 ranking decline traces mainly to English Language Arts. Stoddert's all-grade ELA proficiency was 82.2% in 2024–25 — the highest among nearby schools — but dropped to 68.7% in 2025–26. The 3rd grade ELA result of 49.2% was well below the school's own 4th and 5th grade results (81.1% and 76.2%) and below several nearby peers, including Mann Elementary School (78.5%), Hyde-Addison Elementary School (69.9%), and Murch Elementary School (66.3%). On the positive side, Stoddert maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 12.1 — lower than Janney (13.5), Eaton Elementary School (13.0), and Murch (14.0) — with mid-range per-pupil spending of $24,920. The school's math and science foundation, strong history, and resource allocation position it well to rebound, but early-grade literacy is clearly the area to watch.
