Original Research by School Decision on Eagle Academy Pcs - Capitol Riverfront
Eagle Academy PCS operated as a public charter school on Half Street Southwest in Washington, serving pre-K through third grade. The most important thing a parent needs to know is that Eagle Academy is no longer open. Publicly reported records from the DC Public Charter School Board indicate the school relinquished its charter and closed permanently in August 2024. Families who had been enrolled were required to find new seats in other DC public or public charter schools. Anyone considering this campus should look elsewhere, as this entity has ceased operating.
When it was open, Eagle Academy was a small school for its grade band. Pre-K made up the largest single grade, with kindergarten through third grade filling out the rest. The student body was almost entirely Black, with a tiny handful of students identified as white. No other racial or ethnic group was represented in the reported enrollment. Data on free or reduced-price lunch eligibility, special education populations, and English learners was not available in the records we reviewed, so we cannot characterize the school on those dimensions.
On academics, the picture is limited by design. Because the school stopped at third grade, only one grade took the state assessment, the DCCAPE. We found no state testing results for pre-K through second grade, which is expected since those grades are not tested. Among the small group of third graders tested in math, a modest share reached proficiency. In English language arts, proficiency was effectively absent, with no students or nearly no students clearing the bar. The tested group was quite small, which means a single student's result moves the figure considerably. A parent looking at these results should treat them as a snapshot from a tiny sample rather than a stable trend. Participation was solid, with most eligible students sitting for the exam. Average scale scores were not reported. No multi-year trend data was available, and the assessment itself underwent a name change, making year-over-year comparison inadvisable even if prior data existed.
The school had no graduation rate, no advanced coursework, no career or dual-credit pathways, and no reported program offerings. This is consistent with a campus serving only early elementary grades. Records on discipline, staffing, attendance, and school environment were not available. Title I status was not reported. Civil rights data was absent from the payload.
The surrounding context is Washington, DC itself. The city functions as a government-driven place, with federal employment anchoring the economy and international organizations, lobbying firms, associations, and think tanks filling out the professional landscape. The National Mall serves as the preeminent civic anchor, a long green expanse connecting the Capitol to the Lincoln Memorial, lined with Smithsonian museums and monuments. The city's layout follows the L'Enfant Plan, with diagonal avenues and traffic circles radiating from the Capitol across quadrants and neighborhoods. Schools and local institutions are distributed across these neighborhoods rather than concentrated in a single downtown. The Washington metropolitan area, stretching into Maryland and Virginia, is among the largest in the country, and commuters swell the city's daytime population considerably. The Capitol Riverfront area where Eagle Academy sat has seen substantial residential and commercial development as the city has grown beyond its monumental core.
None of that context changes the central fact. Eagle Academy PCS closed. The academic record that exists is thin, drawn from a very small tested cohort in a single early grade, and it does not point to strong outcomes. A family that had this school on a list should remove it and consult the DC Public Charter School Board for current options.
