Summary

Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS - Calle Ocho is a Spanish-English bilingual public charter school in Washington, DC's Brookland neighborhood, serving 504 students in pre-K through 5th grade. It operates under the Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS district, which ranks 8th out of 46 DC charter districts with a 4-star rating. Over the past three years, the school has climbed from 29th to 15th place among DC elementary schools, putting it in the top 12% statewide.

In 2025-2026, Mundo Verde far surpassed state averages in both reading and math: 69% of students scored proficient in English Language Arts, compared to 39.6% statewide, and 64.4% scored proficient in math, more than double the statewide rate. Those results lead every nearby school within a mile, including Elsie Whitlow Stokes Community Freedom PCS - Brookland, Washington Yu Ying PCS, and DC Bilingual PCS. The school improved by roughly 14 points in ELA and 13 points in math in just one year. While reading skills grow steadily from 3rd to 5th grade, math proficiency dips slightly in later grades. The clearest area of concern is special education, where outcomes trail the state's top programs.

Mundo Verde spends about $31,500 per student—more than several high-performing neighbors but less than some schools with far lower test scores. Its student-teacher ratio has improved from 22.3 to a much healthier 12.9 over two years, likely supporting the achievement gains. One area for growth is 5th-grade science, where proficiency (28%) is above the state average but well behind Washington Yu Ying's 61.5%. For families weighing options in the Brookland area, Mundo Verde combines top-tier academics, a proven bilingual model, and steady momentum, making it a standout choice among a very mixed group of nearby elementary schools.
