Kenilworth is a Ward 7 neighborhood adjacent to the Kenilworth Aquatic Gardens — DC's only national park unit featuring water lilies and lotus blossoms. One school serves the immediate residential community, with the Deanwood and Lincoln Heights school networks accessible via Kenilworth Avenue NE. The neighborhood's natural environment along the Anacostia River floodplain gives school-age children access to DC's most unique ecological setting. Ward 7 families receive a priority point for Ward 7 schools and DC lottery equity access for citywide programs.
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.
