District-Level NCES Analysis

Per-pupil expenditure runs $36,237 according to the NCES F-33 School District Finance Survey, in the upper half of 61 District of Columbia districts by per-pupil spending. See how District of Columbia compares in our national per-pupil spending analysis.

The district's equity score is 61/100, ranked #7 of 52 in District of Columbia against a state average of 38, notably more even than the typical district in the state for how evenly funding reaches its schools.
a 365:1 student-counselor ratio, well above the ASCA benchmark though still under the roughly 408:1 national average, and 43.8% chronic absenteeism from the 2021-22 Civil Rights Data Collection. Demographically, the student body averages 53.4% Hispanic or Latino, 42.5% African American, 2.2% White across the district's schools.
Its largest campus is Bridges Pcs, enrolling 365 students (100% of the district's total enrollment).
Bridges Pcs accounts for 96.1% of all Bridges Pcs student enrollment
That is an overwhelming concentration, leaving the rest of Bridges Pcs a distant remainder — means Bridges Pcs-wide averages can mask substantial variation outside the largest entity. Grade band: combined. The share measures enrollment concentration only; it does not establish how the district allocates programs, capital, or staff. Because it contains a majority of the affected population, enrollment-weighted aggregates will sit closer to this entity's reported fields than to those of smaller peers; an unweighted entity count answers a different question.
Bridges Pcs student-counselor ratio is 365:1 — high (typically associated with staffing constraints that limit per-student counselor time; CRDC data shows higher ratios cluster in larger urban systems)
student-counselor ratio is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: the ratio counts FTE counselors against total enrollment, districts that contract intervention or social-emotional staff outside the counselor classification may be under-counted Higher values may reflect larger urban scale or recent resource constraints that have widened the gap.
Bridges Pcs chronic absenteeism rate is 43.8% — well above typical (typically associated with unusually large scale or acute resource constraints)
chronic absenteeism rate is the simplest comparative metric but it does not capture the full picture: a student is chronically absent if they miss ≥10% of enrolled days for any reason, illness, family obligations, or disengagement Values this far above typical often signal acute resource constraints or a structurally different scale than most peers — worth reading alongside the underlying counts, not the ratio alone.
