Summary:
The 20004 zip code of Washington, D.C. is home to two schools: Basis DC PCS, a high-performing public charter high school serving grades 5-12, and School-Within-School at Goding, a strong-performing elementary school. While both schools outperform the District of Columbia average, Basis DC PCS stands out as an exceptional institution, ranking 3rd out of 34 high schools in the district and earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Basis DC PCS boasts impressive academic achievements, with 90% of its students proficient or better in PARCC/English II, compared to just 33.76% for the district. The school's diverse student population, with a higher percentage of White and Asian students, suggests it is providing an inclusive learning environment. In contrast, while School-Within-School at Goding is a strong performer, ranking 16th out of 128 elementary schools, it does not reach the same level of excellence as its high school counterpart.
The data also reveals interesting differences in resource allocation, with School-Within-School at Goding spending $24,738 per student, compared to $14,724 per student at Basis DC PCS. However, this higher spending does not necessarily translate to better academic outcomes, as evidenced by Basis DC PCS's superior test scores and rankings. Both schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios, which may contribute to their academic success by allowing for more individualized attention and support for students.
