Our 2007 DC CAS scores cement our position as one of the top-performing high schools in the region. We ranked 3rd overall in the District compared to other open-enrollment high schools.
Our 2007 scores are more than 6.5 times higher than the DC CAS scores of other high schools in Wards 7 and 8 to which our students would traditionally be assigned, and our scores exceeded the average scores of all DC open-enrollment high schools by 17% in reading and 26% in math.
