Summary:

The 20007 zip code in Washington, D.C. is home to a single high school, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts. This specialized arts-focused institution is consistently ranked among the top high schools in the District of Columbia, boasting a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The Duke Ellington School of the Arts stands out for its strong performance in English Language Arts and English II, outpacing the district and state averages. However, the school lags behind in mathematics, with lower proficiency rates compared to the broader region. Despite its high spending of $35,010 per student, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 48.2, which may impact the quality of instruction and individual attention students receive.

While the school's 76.1% four-year graduation rate is higher than the district and state averages, the lack of data on free/reduced lunch rates makes it difficult to assess the socioeconomic diversity of the student population. Nevertheless, the Duke Ellington School of the Arts' consistent top rankings within the District of Columbia suggest that it is a highly sought-after and competitive institution, attracting some of the most talented students in the area.
