Summary

Walker-Jones Education Campus is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Washington, DC, with 313 students. Despite relatively high per-student spending and a low student-teacher ratio, the school has consistently underperformed compared to the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) district and the city-wide averages on standardized tests.

In the 2024-2025 school year, only 26.8% of Walker-Jones students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 42.5% for DCPS and 37.6% for DC overall. The math proficiency rate was even lower at just 3.7%, compared to 30.8% for DCPS and 26.4% for DC. The school has struggled to effectively serve its student subgroups, ranking in the bottom 25% of DC elementary schools for both female and male students, as well as for special education students, in recent years.

Compared to nearby schools, Walker-Jones stands out as an underperforming institution. For example, Capitol Hill Montessori School at Logan, just 0.73 miles away, outperforms Walker-Jones by a wide margin on ELA and math proficiency rates. Similarly, Seaton Elementary School, also 0.73 miles away, has stronger academic performance. Many of the nearby public charter schools, such as Two Rivers PCS and Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS, also significantly outperform Walker-Jones on academic measures.
