DC Prep Public Charter Schools

Written By Iain Laidley

Jounce coaches assistant principals across all six DC Prep PreK-3rd and 4th-8th schools and works closely with network leadership to strengthen content-specific coaching and professional learning across subject areas.

 

DC Prep has some of the strongest student learning outcomes in the region.

  • Edgewood Middle Campus is ranked the #1 middle school in DC.

  • Anacostia Middle Campus is ranked the #1 school east of the river in DC and increased ELA performance by 7 points in 2024.

  • Benning Middle Campus is ranked the #5 middle school in DC and increased ELA performance by 7 points in 2024.

 
“Jounce has really helped our DC Prep leaders get better at their jobs over time, so that they want to stay. Our academic Assistant Principals are the most veteran in comparison to our other leadership roles in general, and I think a lot of that is due to the supports that we’ve put in place to help make them more effective in their roles.”
— Mary Pendleton, DC Prep Public Charter Schools Managing Director
