Summary

Bruce-Monroe Elementary School at Park View is a PK–5 public school in the Park View neighborhood of Washington, DC, serving 448 students as part of the District of Columbia Public Schools.

The school has earned a 4-star rating and ranks 30th out of 124 DC elementary schools, placing it in the 76th percentile for the 2025–2026 school year. Its climb has been remarkable: just a decade ago, Bruce-Monroe sat in the bottom half of DC elementary schools with a 2-star rating. Today, math is the school's signature strength — 48.9% of students score proficient, a full 15 points above the district average of 33.3%. Notably, math proficiency exceeds ELA proficiency at Bruce-Monroe, reversing the pattern seen in most schools. The school is also an equity standout: students from low socioeconomic backgrounds have ranked among the top 10 schools statewide for three consecutive years, including a #1 ranking in 2022–2023. Among nearby schools, only Barnard Elementary School and Washington Yu Ying PCS post higher all-grades math proficiency, while Bruce-Monroe outpaces Powell Elementary School, Tubman Elementary School, Truesdell Elementary School, Bancroft Elementary School, and Raymond Elementary School by wide margins.

The school's main weakness is 5th grade. ELA proficiency drops from 56.1% in 4th grade to 35.7% in 5th grade, and 5th-grade science proficiency (16.3%) trails the district average of 23.7%. With a low student-teacher ratio of 9.5 and per-pupil spending of $29,259, the school has the resources to close these gaps. Bruce-Monroe also outperforms nearby Dorothy I. Height Elementary School, which spends over $41,000 per student with weaker results, and it sits just 0.29 miles from Raymond Elementary School while beating it by roughly 23 points in ELA and 33 points in math. For families seeking a traditional public school with strong math instruction and exceptional results for economically disadvantaged students, Bruce-Monroe is one of the strongest options in the Park View area.
