Schools in Berkley

Berkley is a quiet, wooded residential neighborhood in far-Northwest DC, wedged between Georgetown, Spring Valley, and the Palisades along the Potomac River. Its low density and tree-lined streets belie its school density — The River School, Our Lady of Victory, and St. Patrick's Episcopal Day School are all tucked into the neighborhood. Ward 2 boundaries mean Berkley residents can apply to DCPS schools across the ward including Hardy Middle School and Georgetown's Hyde-Addison Elementary. The neighborhood lacks Metro access, so school commutes typically rely on car or school bus. Private school families here are drawn to the intimate campus environments and proximity to the C&O Canal and Battery Kemble Park. Lottery applicants should note the Ward 2 application priority window opens in November each year at schoolchoice.dc.gov.
