Langdon is a small Ward 5 neighborhood in Northeast DC along Rhode Island Avenue NE, adjacent to the National Arboretum's north boundary. One school serves the Langdon community, with the Queens Chapel and Woodridge school networks accessible via Rhode Island Avenue. The National Arboretum's 446-acre grounds border the neighborhood, providing an extraordinary outdoor education resource for local schools. Ward 5 residents receive a priority point for Ward 5 schools in the DC lottery, and the Rhode Island Avenue Metro station (Red line) provides transit access.
Ward 5 families can apply to any DC public or charter school through the unified lottery. The application window opens in November at schoolchoice.dc.gov.
