Summary:

ZIP code 20010 has five listed schools: three elementary schools, one middle school, and Columbia Heights Education Campus, which serves grades 6–12; four are in District of Columbia Public Schools, while E.L. Haynes is a charter school. In 2025–2026, the schools’ simple average was 37% proficient in ELA and 27% in math, compared with state averages of 40% and 28%. The central takeaway is that results vary sharply by school rather than showing one consistent area-wide pattern.

Bruce-Monroe Elementary School at Park View stands out at the top, with 47% ELA proficiency and 49% math proficiency—the highest in the group and 7 and 21 percentage points above the state, respectively. Bancroft Elementary School also exceeds the state in both subjects, at 44% in ELA and 39% in math. At the other end, Raymond Elementary School has the lowest ELA result, 24%, which is 16 points below the state; its 16% math result is 13 points below the state. Columbia Heights Education Campus has the lowest math result, 13%, while E.L. Haynes PCS – Middle School is below the state in both subjects.

Recent results are mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, the schools’ average ELA score rose by about 3 percentage points, while the average math score rose by about 1 point—less than the state’s increase. Bruce-Monroe and Haynes made the largest ELA gains, up 9 and 11 points; Raymond declined in both subjects. SchoolDigger’s statewide percentile rose from 69 to 76 for Bruce-Monroe and from 31 to 51 for Haynes, but fell from 60 to 29 for Raymond. Reported student-teacher ratios range from 9.1 to 12.8. All five schools report students directly certified for free meals, sy 2024–2025: shares range from 25% at Bancroft to 54% at Raymond, as context rather than an explanation of results. Elementary grade-level results add nuance: Bruce-Monroe leads in third-grade ELA and math, while Bancroft leads fifth-grade ELA. All-grades comparisons reflect different grade mixes, and the graduation and test results are from different school years.
