con'td... I can't wait for the school's pool to open. What an excellent idea to require the students to learn to swim! I recently learned that parents will have free lessons, as well. They also have a pediatric dentist for the students to have regular checkups. Keep it up EAPCS... I cant wait to see whats in store next!!

Posted July 9, 2012

I have enjoyed the last three years that my "Autistic" son has attended EAPCS. When he first entered, I was a nervous wreck. I was nervous not only as a "first time new mother" but because of his disability and how new it is. I wasn't sure if the staff were going to be welcoming or "qualified" to deal with his condition. However, to my surprise they have "exceeded" my expectations as it relates to what a school should provide. They have TRULY become my extended family. Their staff members do their best, and I mean their best, to assist you! Even if you have a "little attitude" as I do, they don't reject you, they embrace you! I can't even begin say what EAPCS has done. My son continues to progress. He's doing so well there, that even when special education evaluator's are on the premises "it's difficult for them to distinguish him, esp as a child with a disability." Being an EAPCS parent also lead to employment. There are many many things to gain not only for your child, but for yourself being apart of EAPCS! Looking for an opportunity to better yourself and your children? Need a "family like" atmosphere? Need "resources" at your fingertips? Then EAPCS is where you want to be! ;o)

About the tests


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.

Rating legend

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.
