Capitol View is a Ward 7 neighborhood in SE DC east of the Anacostia River, adjacent to the Sheriff Road and Seat Pleasant MD area. One school serves the immediate residential community, with the broader Ward 7 school network — including Marshall Heights and Central Northeast charter options — accessible via Benning Road and Eastern Avenue transit corridors. Ward 7 residents receive a priority point for Ward 7 schools. DC's lottery equity provisions ensure Capitol View families have meaningful access to competitive programs across the entire city.
Ward 7 families can apply to any DC public or charter school through the unified lottery. The application window opens in November at schoolchoice.dc.gov.
