Summary

Rocketship PCS - Infinity Community Prep is a PK-5 charter school in Washington, DC serving 321 students at 5450 3rd Street NE, and it is part of the Rocketship Education DC PCS network, which is currently ranked 44th out of 46 districts in the city. The school has experienced a sharp decline over the past few years, falling from the 63rd percentile in 2022-2023 to just the 23rd percentile in 2025-2026, and now holds a 1-star rating.

Academically, the school performs far below state averages. In 2025-2026, only 13.4% of students were proficient in English Language Arts and 14.2% in math, compared to state averages of 39.6% and 28.2%. This is particularly striking given the neighborhood — Mundo Verde Bilingual PCS - Calle Ocho (69% ELA, 64% math), Washington Yu Ying PCS (53% ELA, 54% math), DC Bilingual PCS (48% ELA, 45% math), and Sela PCS (46% ELA, 55% math) are all within a mile and post dramatically higher scores. Early literacy is a major concern — 3rd-grade ELA proficiency is just 8.4% — and math declines sharply by grade: 25% in 3rd grade, 15% in 4th, and only 2.9% in 5th grade.

Despite its low outcomes, the school spends about $37,854 per student, which is higher than most nearby schools, including Creative Minds International PCS ($33,517) and Washington Yu Ying PCS ($24,640). The student-to-teacher ratio of 13.8:1 is also higher than nearly every nearby school — Sela PCS has a ratio of 7:1 and DC Bilingual PCS has 7.9:1. While Bridges PCS and Capital City PCS - Lower School have similarly low test scores, the broader neighborhood offers families access to many much stronger options, making this school one of the most challenging academic choices in the area.
