I Dream PCS

Located at 2220 Branch Avenue SE in Washington, DC, I Dream PCS is an active, independent public charter school district serving the nation's capital. Situated within a vibrant large-city environment in the greater Washington-Arlington-Alexandria metropolitan area, this single-school district provides a focused educational pathway spanning early childhood through elementary education, from Pre-Kindergarten through fifth grade. As an open and operational local educational agency, I Dream PCS concentrates its instructional model on nurturing foundational skills during a student's most formative learning years, maintaining a dedicated neighborhood presence accessible via their public platform at idreampcs.org.

According to federal educational records for the 2024–2025 academic year, I Dream PCS serves a close-knit learning community of 99 students, with its largest enrollment concentrated in the early grades—including 29 pre-kindergartners and 21 kindergartners. The student body reflects a rich local demographic, predominantly composed of Black (90) and Hispanic (5) learners, alongside White scholars and students of two or more races, with a balanced gender distribution of 49 female and 50 male students. To support this intimate student body, the district benefits from an exceptionally robust workforce comprising 20 full-time equivalent teachers, 3 instructional aides, and over 28 support staff members. This comprehensive team of more than 51 total full-time equivalent personnel enables a remarkably low student-to-teacher ratio, fostering an attentive, highly individualized learning environment designed to promote academic success and holistic child development.
