Summary:
The 20018 zip code of Washington, D.C. is home to 8 schools, including 6 elementary schools and 2 middle schools, serving a predominantly African American student population. While the schools in this area generally underperform the district averages in math and English language arts, a few standout institutions shine, including Burroughs Elementary School and The Sojourner Truth School PCS, which rank among the top schools in the district and earn 4-star ratings from SchoolDigger.
Burroughs Elementary stands out with the highest overall performance in the zip code, ranking 25th out of 128 D.C. elementary schools. Over 50% of its 5th graders are proficient or better in both math and English language arts, well above the district averages. Similarly, Friendship PCS - Woodridge International Middle and The Sojourner Truth School PCS are the top-performing middle schools in the area, ranking 17th and 8th out of 69 D.C. middle schools, respectively.
In contrast, schools like Noyes Elementary and The Children's Guild DC PCS lag behind, with lower test scores and less diverse student populations. This stark performance gap suggests a need for policymakers and education leaders in the District of Columbia Public Schools to understand the factors driving these differences and ensure more equitable access to high-quality education across all schools in the 20018 zip code.
