Summary:
ZIP code 20007 has five schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: two elementary schools, one middle school and two high schools, all part of District of Columbia Public Schools. In 2025–2026, the elementary schools and Hardy Middle School scored well above state results in both English language arts (ELA) and math. The clearest concern for families comparing the high schools is math: both scored below the state rate, even though both were above it in ELA.
Hyde-Addison Elementary School led Stoddert Elementary School in 2025–2026 all-grades results: 78% versus 69% in ELA, a gap of 9 percentage points, and 76% versus 75% in math, a gap of 1 point. Both were well above state rates of 40% in ELA and 28% in math. Hardy scored 71% in ELA and 58% in math, 32 and 29 points above the state rates. Among high schools, Duke Ellington School of the Arts led MacArthur High School by 11 points in ELA and 2 points in math. However, both high schools were below the state in math: Duke scored 16% and MacArthur 15%, compared with 28% statewide.
Results have shifted, so a previous year’s ordering may not predict the next one. Stoddert led Hyde-Addison in 2024–2025, scoring 82% in ELA and 80% in math to Hyde-Addison’s 71% and 64%; Hyde-Addison led in both subjects the following year. Hardy’s ELA score fell by 2 points between years, while its math score rose by 2. SchoolDigger’s 2025–2026 rankings place Hardy 4th of 68 middle schools, Hyde-Addison 6th and Stoddert 13th of 124 elementary schools, and Duke 8th and MacArthur 9th of 37 high schools. As context—not an explanation for scores—the schools’ 2024–2025 figures for students directly certified for free meals ranged from 8% at Stoddert to 30% at MacArthur; student-teacher ratios ranged from 10.6 at MacArthur to 28.0 at Duke Ellington.
