Summary

Tubman Elementary School is a District of Columbia Public Schools elementary school serving 415 students in grades PK–5, located at 800 Euclid St. NW in Washington, DC. The school currently ranks 54th out of 124 DC elementary schools, landing at the 56th percentile with a 3-star rating — slightly above the middle of the pack but situated in a competitive cluster of nearby schools. Perhaps the most striking operational feature is the school's exceptionally low student-teacher ratio of 5.9, well below every nearby comparison school such as Cleveland Elementary School (8.6), H.D. Cooke Elementary School (9.2), Garrison Elementary School (9.6), and KIPP DC - Lead Academy PCS (11.6).

Tubman's most notable academic strength is its outstanding results for students from low-socioeconomic-status backgrounds. In 2025–2026, that subgroup ranked 3rd out of 80 schools statewide (96th percentile, 5 stars), far above the school's overall standing. The school has also shown remarkable improvement over the past few years, climbing from a 1-star rating in 2022–2023 to a 3-star school in both 2024–2025 and 2025–2026. In math, Tubman's 29.3% proficiency rate exceeds the state average of 28.2% and outperforms nearby Cleveland Elementary School (17%), H.D. Cooke Elementary School (24.3%), and Raymond Elementary School (15.7%). However, ELA proficiency of 31.4% trails both the district (44.1%) and state (39.6%), and 3rd-grade ELA is a particular concern at 22.2% versus the district's 38%.

Fifth-grade results are a bright spot — ELA and math proficiency at that level beat district and state averages — but science performance is a clear weakness at 9.26% proficiency in 2024–2025, well below the district's 23.67%. Subgroup results are uneven: Hispanic students rank in the 77th percentile and African American students have improved significantly in recent years, but English Language Learner and Special Education students remain vulnerable areas. Among nearby schools, Tubman outranks Cleveland Elementary School, H.D. Cooke Elementary School, Raymond Elementary School, KIPP DC - Grow Academy PCS, and Meridian PCS, while sitting below Garrison Elementary School, Bruce-Monroe Elementary School at Park View, and Marie Reed Elementary School. The school's spending of $28,067 per student is below several neighbors, making the low student-teacher ratio especially noteworthy.
