Summary:

ZIP code 20018 has eight schools, listed as six elementary schools, one middle school and one high school, with grade spans ranging from PK–3 to grades 6–12. The latest reported all-grades averages are 34% in English language arts (ELA) and 25% in math, compared with state results of 40% and 28%. Results differ sharply from school to school: the most important finding is that Burroughs Elementary School is far ahead of The Children's Guild DC PCS.

Burroughs leads the reported 2025–2026 all-grades results, with 55% in ELA and 54% in math; The Children's Guild has the lowest results, at 3% and 1%. That is a gap of 51 points in ELA and 53 in math. Against the state, Burroughs is 15 points higher in ELA and 26 higher in math, while The Children's Guild is 36 and 28 points lower, respectively. Grade-level results add an important exception: Langdon Elementary School leads reported grade 5 scores, with 55% in both subjects—15 points above the grade 5 state result in ELA and 25 points above it in math. In grades 6–8, The Sojourner Truth School PCS leads reported math results in each grade.

Recent changes vary by school: Burroughs rose 3 points in ELA and 10 in math from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026; Langdon rose 1 and 8, while Friendship PCS - Woodridge International Middle rose 1 point in ELA but fell 6 in math. SchoolDigger ranks Burroughs 22nd of 124 statewide, with four stars, and Friendship Woodridge Middle 18th of 68, also with four stars. The 2024–2025 share directly certified for free meals ranged from 33% at Burroughs to 86% at The Children's Guild; these figures offer context, not an explanation for test results. The schools serve different grades, and reported all-grades averages do not include the same schools in every subject.
