Chevy Chase DC is Ward 3's upscale neighborhood along Connecticut Avenue NW, adjacent to Maryland's Chevy Chase community. Two DCPS schools serve the area, part of the strong Ward 3 DCPS system that includes Barnard Elementary and the feeder pathway through Deal Middle School to Wilson High School. The Friendship Heights Metro station (Red line) anchors the neighborhood's commercial edge. Ward 3 families benefit from strong DCPS neighborhood school assignment, with the DC lottery available for families seeking specialized citywide programs.
Ward 3 families can apply to any DC public or charter school through the unified lottery. The application window opens in November at schoolchoice.dc.gov.
