The first step to finding the best schools in Washington, D.C., is to figure out whether you want your kids in public or private school. (There are advantages to both.)\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Some questions to think about as you sort through schools include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li>What is the high-school graduation rate?<\/li>\r\n<li>How proficient are students in math and reading?<\/li>\r\n<li>What is the school rated overall?<\/li>\r\n<li>How do people feel about the school?<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Read on to learn more about the public and private school systems in The District.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-how-are-public-schools-in-washington-d-c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_are_public_schools_in_Washington_DC\"><\/span>How are public schools in Washington, D.C.?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As a parent, it\u2019s natural to want to know what education is like in the nation\u2019s capital. We\u2019ll start with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/k12\/d\/district-of-columbia-public-schools-dc\/\">District of Columbia Public Schools<\/a>, one of the city\u2019s largest school districts. The last reported high-school graduation rate was <a href=\"https:\/\/dcps.dc.gov\/release\/bowser-administration-announces-graduation-rates-and-release-2020-dc-school-report-card\">70.9%<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It was even found that this rate exceeded the goal of the year before by roughly 0.4%, meaning that even more students graduated than in prior school years. (To compare this graduation rate to surrounding areas, the adjusted graduation rate in Maryland is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marylandpublicschools.org\/stateboard\/Documents\/2022\/0322\/AdjustedCohortGraduationRateAdvancedPlacementSATPostsecondaryEnrollment.pdf\">88.3%<\/a>, and it\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wric.com\/news\/virginia-news\/a-look-at-graduation-rate-data-for-virginias-public-high-school-class-of-2022\/\">92.1%<\/a> in Virginia.)<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The reading proficiency in the District of Columbia Public Schools district is 40%, and the math proficiency is 33%. You might find that the graduation rates, as well as math and reading proficiencies, are a little higher in some of the Washington, D.C., suburbs.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Many of these suburbs are also highly rated in areas such as classes, diversity, teachers, and college prep, which should give you confidence that there are many great schools in the District that could be a nice fit for your child.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-top-rated-public-schools-in-washington-d-c\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Top-rated_public_schools_in_Washington_DC\"><\/span>Top-rated public schools in Washington, D.C.<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here are some of the top public schools in Washington, D.C:\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Best Elementary Schools in Washington, D.C.:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/rosselementary.org\">Ross Elementary School<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mauryelementary.com\">Maury Elementary School<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.lafayettehsa.org\">Lafayette Elementary School<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/profiles.dcps.dc.gov\/Janney+Elementary+School\">Janney Elementary School<\/a><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Best Middle Schools in Washington, D.C.:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/latinpcs.org\">Washington Latin Public Charter School<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dcprep.org\/prospective-families\/our-schools\/edgewood-middle-campus\/\">DC Prep Edgewood Middle Campus<\/a><\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/enrollbasis.com\/washington-dc\/\">BASIS Washington, D.C.

Here are some examples of the best private schools:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/k12\/georgetown-day-school-washington-dc-dc\/\">Georgetown Day School<\/a> (#1 private high school in Washington D.C., serves PK and K-12)<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/k12\/sidwell-friends-school-washington-dc\/\">Sidwell Friends School<\/a> (#2 private high school in Washington, D.C., serves PK and K-12)<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/k12\/national-cathedral-school-washington-dc\/\">National Cathedral School<\/a> (#3 private high school in Washington, D.C., serves grades 4-12)<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/k12\/basis-independent-mclean-mclean-va\/\">BASIS Independent McLean<\/a> (#4 private high school in Washington, D.C., serves PK and K-12)<\/li>\r\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.niche.com\/k12\/the-madeira-school-mclean-va\/\">The Madeira School<\/a> (#5 private high school in Washington, D.C., serves grades 9-12)<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>While these are all great schools, the District of Columbia has 534 total private schools. That means that you have quite a few more options if you want them.

Not only do they have higher safety ratings in many cases, but they also tend to have fewer students per teacher (meaning more one-on-one attention), great clubs and activities, and wonderful college prep opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>When it comes to private schools, you can choose from virtually any suburb. However, there are restrictions on where your kids can go to school if you\u2019re going the public school route. That means that you should think carefully about the suburb before moving and make sure the schools align with your children\u2019s needs and wants.
