My daughter has been enrolled at Noyes since Pre-School. She is currently in the 3rd grade. Overall, I am pleased with the school's structure. It creates a safe nurturing learning environment. The school is consistent and thoughtful in its communication with parents. My Ryan provides excellent leadership as indicated by his innovative approach to learning. My daughter loves learning and Noyes support her enthusiasm!

My husband and I enrolled our son at Noyes in the middle of school year last year. Both of us as well as our 10 year old is very please in the choice we ve made. We are truly impressed with the leadership as well as the caring attitude that Noyes staff displays on a daily basis. All staff are very friendly and eager to help and assist where need. This school truly defines It-Takes-A-Village to Raise a Child. Kelly B. Mitchell-Baynes

My four year old son has special needs and receives outstanding academic and behavioral support in a mostly inclusionary model. Their speech therapist is second to none. His Headstart teacher offers exciting, rigorous instruction to the little ones. I've nicknamed her, 'The Professor.' Lol! The school also has an enormously large population of male teachers and staff members. That was a bonus for me...that my son could have so many male role models!

Well, the principal has won many awards incluing DCPS Principal of the Year, Washington Post Distinguished Educator and Phi Delta Kappa Educator of the Year! Visit the school for yourself and you will see that it is a gem and the best kept secret in Northeast DC! You will want to send your children there as I do!

In 2011-2012 Washington, D.C. used the District of Columbia Comprehensive Assessment System (DC-CAS) to test students in reading and math in grades 3 through 8 and 10, and science in grades 5, 8, and High School. The DC-CAS is a standards-based testing program, which means it measures specific skills defined for each grade by the District of Columbia. The goal is for all students to score at or above the proficient level.

GreatSchools Rating

What makes up this rating?

Academic rating
4 / 10
Climate rating
Coming 2013

This GreatSchools Rating is based on academics, including students' test scores, academic growth and college readiness. Soon, the rating will also measure school climate, which includes safety, cleanliness, parent involvement and more.

Learn more about our methodology

What is the new GreatSchools Rating?

Rating legend
Below
average
Average
Above
average

Our rating (from 1 to 10) reflects a school's overall performance. The higher the rating, the more likely the school will prepare your child for the future, so choose an above-average school (8-10) if possible. For average schools (4-7), do careful research and look for evidence that the school has high-quality programs. For below-average schools (1-3), take caution; a low-performing school may not provide the instruction or environment your child needs to learn, and you may need to supplement classroom lessons at home.

Academic rating

The academic rating is made up of equally-weighted parts: students' test scores, their academic growth and their readiness for college (for high schools). If a school is designated low performing (Tier 3) by the DC Public Charter School Board, the school receives a "Below average" GreatSchools Rating. The graphs below compare this school's results to other schools in the city.

**The academic growth rating measures how schools affect student test score improvement over time in reading and math. The data is for the 2012 school year and is provided by the Office of the State Superintendent of Education.

Climate ratings

Starting in fall 2013, we plan to release a climate rating as part of this school's overall GreatSchools Rating. The climate rating will be based on survey data about various aspects of this school's climate, such as safety, cleanliness, expectations for students, parent involvement, and more.
