Summary

Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS - J.F. Cook is an elementary public charter school in Washington, DC's Shaw, NoMa, and Bloomingdale area, serving 563 students in grades PK through 5 with a consistently strong record of academic performance. The school ranks in the 72nd percentile of DC schools (35th out of 124) with a 4-star rating, and its district, Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS, ranks 8th out of 46 DC districts. In the 2025-2026 school year, 43.2% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts and 45.6% in Mathematics — both above state averages, with math proficiency exceeding the state by more than 17 percentage points.

Mundo Verde is the top-performing elementary school among its nearby peers in ELA, and nearly the top in math. Its 43.2% ELA proficiency edges out Seaton Elementary School (40.0%) and far surpasses Two Rivers PCS - 4th Street (33.3%), Cleveland Elementary School (25.5%), and Walker-Jones Education Campus (23.9%). In math, Seaton's 47.6% narrowly tops Mundo Verde's 45.6%, but the school leads most nearby schools by 20 to 35 percentage points. This performance is not a fluke: Mundo Verde has ranked between 35th and 38th in DC for four straight years, while neighbors like Center City PCS - Shaw and Harmony DC PCS - School of Excellence have swung wildly in rankings.

Mundo Verde also stands out for efficiency, spending less per student ($27,285) than most nearby schools while delivering stronger outcomes. Students show real growth during their time at the school: third-grade ELA proficiency starts near the state average (31.4%) but jumps to 52.1% by fourth grade. The school's main watch items are science proficiency, which trails the state average, and declining outcomes for special education and low-income students. Notably, the school's own district average is higher than its campus results, meaning other Mundo Verde campuses are even stronger.

The school has too many priorities (sustainability, bilingual literacy, expedition learning). Unfortunately, the children don't seem to be high on the list, except as a theoretical priority. Some teachers are wonderful, but the administration leaves a lot to be desired. The school seems to love the idea of education children more than actually doing it. Close Quote
