of 124 District Of Columbia Elementary Schools

Summary

Harmony DC PCS - School of Excellence is a small charter elementary school in Washington, DC's Eckington/Bloomingdale neighborhood, serving 182 students in grades PK-5. Despite its name, the school's academic results are among the lowest in the District. In 2025–2026, Harmony ranked 112th out of 124 DC elementary schools, with just 12.2% of students proficient in English Language Arts and 8.3% proficient in math—far below the statewide averages of 39.6% and 28.2%.

The school's Harmony DC PCS network ranks 45th out of 46 DC districts, placing it in the bottom 2% citywide. Nearly every nearby school outperforms Harmony. Langley Elementary School, just 0.14 miles away, posts higher scores in both subjects (13.5% ELA, 12.3% math) while spending about $3,700 less per student. Within a mile, Inspired Teaching Demonstration PCS (63.3% ELA, 52.4% math) and Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS - J.F. Cook (43.2% ELA, 45.6% math) deliver results three to five times better.

Harmony's spending makes its results even more puzzling. At $30,708 per student—the second-highest in the area—it outspends Inspired Teaching ($26,800) and Mundo Verde ($27,285), and it maintains a low student-teacher ratio of 9.4:1. Yet these resources are not translating into academic gains. Performance is also highly unstable: Harmony's rank swung from 56th in 2022–2023 to 100th, then 73rd, then 112th, and math proficiency collapsed from 16.7% to 8.3% in one year. For families choosing a school in this neighborhood, Harmony's combination of weak results, declining math scores, and unpredictable year-to-year performance makes it a difficult choice—especially with so many stronger options just blocks away.
