Summary:
Digital Pioneers Academy PCS operates a single middle school, Digital Pioneers Academy PCS - Johenning, located in Washington, D.C. The school serves 310 students, the vast majority of whom (97.74%) are African American. While the school's spending per student is relatively high at $20,979, its academic performance lags significantly behind the District of Columbia's averages, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics well below the city's benchmarks across all grade levels.
The school's ranking among DC middle schools has declined over the past three years, from 49th out of 59 schools in 2021-2022 to 42nd out of 70 schools in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school's performance is not improving relative to other middle schools in the district. Additionally, the school's student-teacher ratio of 16.3 to 1 is within a reasonable range, but this metric alone does not guarantee effective instruction or student learning.
Overall, the data indicates that Digital Pioneers Academy PCS is struggling to provide a high-quality education to its students, as evidenced by the school's low academic performance, declining rankings, and lack of progress over the past few years. The school's leadership and the district should closely examine the factors contributing to these challenges and develop a comprehensive plan to address them.
