Summary

Stuart-Hobson Middle School (Capitol Hill Cluster) is a District of Columbia Public Schools middle school in the Capitol Hill neighborhood of Washington, DC, serving 460 students in grades 6–8 as part of a structured K–8 feeder pathway. It is the clear academic leader among nearby middle schools, ranking #10 out of 67 DC middle schools (85th percentile) with a 4-star rating in 2025–2026, ahead of every nearby DCPS and public charter school. The school has climbed from the 57th percentile in 2014–2015 to its current spot in the top 15% of DC middle schools.

English language arts is the school's greatest strength, with 64.5% of students proficient — well above the DC district average of 44.1% and the state average of 39.6%. Math proficiency is more moderate at 32.2%, slightly below the DCPS average but above the state average, with 6th grade representing a clear challenge (25.7% vs. 33.8% district). However, math jumps to 40.4% by 7th grade, and Algebra I results are exceptional: 75.9% proficient versus the district's 20.8%. Among nearby schools, only Friendship PCS - Blow Pierce Middle comes close (ranked #16), while Eliot-Hine Middle School (#24) posts 41.8% ELA proficiency and McKinley Middle School (#48) has just 8.7% math proficiency. Monument Academy PCS ranks last among DC middle schools.

Stuart-Hobson achieves these results while spending $26,421 per student — less than charter competitors like Friendship PCS - Armstrong Middle ($33,146), Friendship PCS - Chamberlain Middle ($32,715), and KIPP DC - WILL Academy PCS ($28,088) — and with a higher student-to-teacher ratio (13.5). Subgroup results are strong: African American students ranked #13 of 61 statewide and low-income students ranked #14 of 51, a significant improvement from recent years. Special education outcomes have been inconsistent, and science proficiency is an area to watch (12.1% in 8th grade, barely above the district's 10.8%). Even so, Stuart-Hobson stands out as the top-performing middle school in the Capitol Hill/Northeast DC area.
