Learn Dc Pcs spends about $36,915 per student, a higher investment than most neighbors—but it delivers results those neighbors don't match.

What's more, Learn Dc's scores jumped dramatically this year: ELA proficiency rose 20.4 points and math rose 10.5 points, gains no nearby school came close to matching. With a student-teacher ratio of 12.9, the school's success suggests instructional quality and school culture matter more than class size alone.
