HYDE ADDISON ES AT MEYER

Hyde Addison ES at Meyer is a public elementary school that is part of the District of Columbia Public Schools school district, located in Washington, DC with about 320 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. With about 26 teachers, Hyde Addison ES at Meyer has a student/teacher ratio of about 12:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

Hyde-Addison Elementary School (located at the Meyer site) is a prominent public school serving the Georgetown community within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) system. The school is highly regarded for its commitment to academic excellence and its focus on developing the "whole child." By fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment, the school emphasizes both rigorous classroom instruction and the social-emotional growth of its students, preparing them to be thoughtful and engaged citizens.

The school is well-known for its active parent community and its integration of specialized programming, including the International Baccalaureate (IB) Primary Years Programme. This framework encourages inquiry-based learning, global awareness, and critical thinking skills. Because the school currently operates out of the Meyer site while its primary facility undergoes modernization and development, it continues to maintain a strong tradition of high parent involvement and collaborative partnerships that are hallmarks of the Hyde-Addison experience.
