Grade-level patterns reveal 4th grade ELA is the strongest subject at both schools (81–83%), while 3rd grade ELA represents a relative opportunity area, particularly at Stoddert (49.2%). Both schools dwarf DC district averages of 44.1% in ELA and 33.3% in math, confirming that families in zip code 20007 have two exceptional public school options with different areas of excellence.
