THURGOOD MARSHALL ACADEMY

Thurgood Marshall Academy is a college-preparatory public charter high school located in D.C.'s historic Anacostia neighborhood in Ward 8... Our mission is to prepare students to succeed in college and to actively engage in our democratic society... As a non-selective high school, we are open to all D.C. students, and do not enroll students based on academic ability. The average ninth-grade student enters our school with skills three or four grade levels behind. In order to improve their skills and help overcome years of accumulated academic deficits, incoming students receive twice as much English and math instruction (90 minutes of each per day) as they would in a traditional public school.
