Barracks Row — also known as 8th Street SE — is Capitol Hill's main dining and retail strip in Ward 6, a historic commercial corridor adjacent to the Marine Barracks. One school serves the residential blocks around Barracks Row, with the full Capitol Hill school network — one of DC's richest school choice environments — immediately accessible. Eastern Market Metro (Blue/Orange/Silver lines) is within walking distance. Ward 6 families receive a priority point for Ward 6 schools, with DC's strong Capitol Hill charter network a short commute away.
Ward 6 families can apply to any DC public or charter school through the unified lottery. The application window opens in November at schoolchoice.dc.gov.
