What Parents Should Know

At 178 students, Harmony Dc Pcs - School of Excellence is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

At 8.9:1 students to teachers, Harmony Dc Pcs - School of Excellence sits well below the national average. Smaller classes like that usually mean more one-on-one time between students and teachers.

Harmony Dc Pcs - School of Excellence is a charter school: publicly funded, but run with more independence than a traditional district school.
