Girls Global Academy PCS

Located at 733 8th Street NW in the heart of Washington, D.C., Girls Global Academy PCS is an active, independent public charter school district operating within a dynamic large city setting. Serving the broader Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan region, this single-school district focuses exclusively on secondary education, offering specialized instruction for young women in grades 9 through 12. During the 2024–2025 academic year, the academy served a focused student body of 184 female scholars across its four high school cohorts, creating an intimate educational environment tailored to foster academic excellence, leadership, and global awareness.

The school's vibrant student community is predominantly composed of Black (154 students) and Hispanic (23 students) scholars, along with students representing multiracial, Asian, and White backgrounds. To support its student body, Girls Global Academy maintains a remarkably robust professional team, employing 51 full-time equivalent teachers, 3 instructional aides, and 59 dedicated support staff members—totaling 113 full-time equivalent personnel. This exceptionally strong staffing framework results in an extraordinarily low student-to-teacher ratio and extensive wraparound services, offering parents, students, and educational researchers a compelling model of individualized instruction and holistic support within an urban high school setting.
