Summary

Browne Education Campus is a PK–8 school in Washington, DC's Northeast neighborhood serving 457 students as part of the District of Columbia Public Schools system. Although classified as an elementary school, it spans both elementary and middle-school grades, making it one of the few PK–8 campuses in the immediate cluster. Browne's state ranking has been declining: after a relative high point in 2022–2023 (40th percentile, 2 stars), it has slipped to an 18th-percentile, 1-star rating for 2025–2026, ranking 102nd out of 124 DC schools.

Academically, Browne's proficiency rates are well below district averages. Only 16.6% of students are proficient in ELA, compared to 44.1% across DCPS, and just 8.2% are proficient in math, versus 33.3% districtwide. The math challenge is especially pronounced in middle school: 3rd-grade math proficiency is 19.3%, but by 6th and 7th grades it collapses to just 2.2%. Nearby schools tell a different story — Maury Elementary School, just over a mile away, reaches 80.6% proficiency in both subjects and ranks among the top schools in DC. J.O. Wilson Elementary School and Two Rivers PCS - Young Elementary School also outperform Browne, while Miner Elementary School and Wheatley Education Campus rank closer to Browne's level. The one bright spot is 8th-grade ELA, at 30.7% proficiency, which approaches the district average.

Browne does have resources working in its favor: a low student-teacher ratio of 9.0 and per-student spending of about $28,166. Yet these resources are not producing comparable gains — Maury spends roughly $21,000 per student with a higher 14.7:1 ratio and achieves dramatically better outcomes. Browne does appear to serve low-income students somewhat better than its overall ranking suggests, earning a 2-star rating for that subgroup. The bottom line: Browne is a neighborhood school with real strengths in late-middle-school literacy and small class sizes, but families should be aware of the severe math deficits in grades 6–8 and the school's declining state ranking.
