Not computed for this schoolBeatsExpectations is not computed for specialized-population schools (schools for the deaf or blind, therapeutic and behavioral-health placements, juvenile-justice and alternative-education settings, and similar). State ELA/Math proficiency rates are not a comparable metric for these populations, so a demographically-adjusted residual against general-enrollment peers would be misleading.

How to read these scores
What is DC CAPE?
DC CAPE is the statewide standardized test administered by District of Columbia public schools.
What does "% Meeting + Exceeding" mean?
It is the share of students at the school who performed at grade level or above on the test, summed across the top two of four performance levels. A higher number is better.
What does 14.3% mean for English Language Arts at Garnet-Patterson STAY HS?
It means about 14.3 percent of students tested at Garnet-Patterson STAY HS performed at grade level or above on the DC CAPE English Language Arts test in 2024-25. The statewide average for District of Columbia that year was 37.9%. The other students fell into the lower performance levels.
How is the state average calculated?
It is a weighted average, not a simple average of each school's number. We multiply each public school's score by how many of its students tested, add those together for all schools in District of Columbia, and divide by the total students tested that year. This way a big school with 1,500 students counts more than a small school with 50 students, which is the right way to ask "how did the typical student do this year?". District and county averages on this page use the same method, just scoped to that district or county.
Where does this data come from?
District of Columbia Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), DC CAPE (DC Comprehensive Assessments of Progress in Education) + MSAA combined. School-level All Students subgroup, all-grades rollup. Headline metric is the cumulative "Meeting + Exceeding Expectations" rate (Levels 4-5 of 5 on DC CAPE; Levels 3-4 of 4 on MSAA).
How often is it updated?
DC CAPE is administered once a year (spring). Results are released by the state in the summer or early fall. We refresh this page after each annual release.
