Schools in Burrville

Burrville is a residential neighborhood in Ward 7, east of the Anacostia, close to the DC-Maryland border along Central Avenue NE. Two schools — one DCPS and one charter — serve Burrville's family community, with the Ward 7 school network providing additional options throughout the Deanwood and Central Northeast areas. The Burrville neighborhood reflects Ward 7's stable working-class community character — rowhouses, single-family homes, and a strong civic association tradition. DC Wildflower PCS operates a charter campus in Burrville, offering a project-based, student-centered educational model that contrasts with the more traditional DCPS approach at the neighborhood school. Transit connections run via Metrobus along Kenilworth Avenue and Central Avenue, connecting Burrville to the Deanwood Metro station (Blue/Silver lines). The neighborhood borders Watts Branch Park and the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens, offering unique natural environment access for school science programming. Ward 7 families receive a priority point for Ward 7 schools in the DC lottery. Burrville families whose children need high school options will need to look citywide through the lottery — no high school operates within the immediate neighborhood boundaries.
