Summary:
The 20010 zip code of Washington, D.C. is home to a diverse set of 5 schools, including 3 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. While the schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population, they exhibit stark differences in academic performance, with Bancroft Elementary School and Bruce-Monroe Elementary School at Park View consistently ranking among the top schools in the district, while Tubman Elementary School lags behind.
The high-performing elementary schools, Bancroft and Bruce-Monroe, boast strong test scores, with 35-50% of students proficient or better in Mathematics and 34-47% proficient or better in English Language Arts. In contrast, Tubman Elementary has much lower scores, with only 9-20% proficient in Mathematics and 11-22% in English Language Arts. The lone high school in the area, Columbia Heights Education Campus, also performs well, ranking 10th out of 34 high schools in the District of Columbia and maintaining a 77.2% four-year graduation rate.
The data also reveals significant disparities in funding, with E.L. Haynes PCS - Middle School, a public charter school in the area, spending the most per student at $36,127, while the traditional public schools range from $22,267 to $29,000 per student. This suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes, as the highest-spending school does not necessarily have the strongest academic performance. The diversity of school options in the 20010 zip code, including both traditional public and public charter schools, highlights the importance of school choice, but also raises questions about equity of access to high-performing educational opportunities.
