Our mission is to prepare students to excel as high-achieving scholars and leaders in high school, college and beyond. 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.
