Achievement Prep is a network of high-performing, college preparatory schools located east of the Anacostia River in Ward 8 of Washington, DC. Achievement Prep schools are tuition-free, open enrollment schools. Founded to close the achievement gap and address the educational needs in the community, Achievement Prep has been an award-winning public charter school recognized for its immediate impact in closing the achievement gap between low-income and affluent students in Washington, DC.
 

Our scholars have been among the top performing scholars in the District, often outperforming their peers in more affluent neighborhoods. The flagship middle school campus opened in 2008 with 68 4th and 5th graders and grew to its full capacity of over 400 scholars in grades 4–8. Achievement Prep opened its first elementary school and second campus in August 2013, serving over 230 scholars in grades K–3. Achievement Prep has plans to continue to expand and open new campuses east of the Anacostia River over the next three years.
