Summary

E.L. Haynes PCS - Middle School is a public charter school located at 3600 Georgia Avenue NW in Washington, DC, serving 329 students in grades 6 through 8 and currently ranked 32nd out of 67 DC middle schools with a 3-star rating. Part of the E.L. Haynes PCS network, the school rebounded from a difficult 1-star 2024-2025 year to the 52nd percentile this year, driven largely by ELA proficiency jumping from 22.1% to 33.5% (statewide: 39.6%). Math remains a weak spot at 18.1% proficiency versus 28.2% statewide, and science is a silent crisis — just 2.91% of 8th graders tested proficient in 2024-2025 versus 8.14% statewide.

Families considering this school have stronger academic options nearby. Washington Latin PCS - Middle School (69.6% ELA, 53.2% math) and Washington Latin PCS - Anna Julia Cooper Middle School (73.4% ELA, 53.0% math) sit within 1.7 miles, while DC Prep PCS - Edgewood Middle School and MacFarland Middle School also beat E.L. Haynes in both subjects. However, E.L. Haynes outpaces KIPP DC - WILL Academy PCS in ELA (33.5% vs. 25.1%) and beats McKinley Middle School and Brookland Middle School in math by roughly double-digit margins (18.1% vs. 8.7% and 9.4%). It is a reasonable mid-tier pick, but not the top choice in the area.

The school spends generously at $31,522 per student with a low 9.1 student-teacher ratio, yet those resources don't translate into top-tier outcomes — MacFarland and Washington Latin both spend less and outperform it in reading and math. Equity gaps are also significant: African American students rank at the 64th percentile statewide, while Hispanic students sit at the 11th percentile and special education students at the 7th. Having fallen from a top-10 DC ranking in 2014-2015, E.L. Haynes has stabilized this year but still has far to go in mathematics, science, and serving its most vulnerable students.
