Harmony D.C. Public Charter School saw one of the highest improvement scores in the entire city. Students grew by 15 points in math at the 3+ level on the D.C. CAPE test and by a whopping 23.3 points in ELA at that same level. At Harmony, students are engaged in rigorous programming with an emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to equip them with cutting-edge skills for a 21st-century workforce. As part of their effort to improve learning, Harmony has implemented daily progress monitoring and small-group instruction in Math and ELA, supported by additional intervention teachers and collaborative planning time for staff. The school also established a comprehensive professional development program through Teach Like A Champion, with continuous leadership feedback and enhanced instructional materials that have improved academic achievement. Additionally, Harmony hired an Attendance Coordinator who works with the Student Support Team to address attendance issues through targeted activities, resulting in increased in-seat attendance and reduced chronic absenteeism.
