Mayfair is a residential Ward 7 neighborhood along Central Avenue NE near the DC-Maryland border. One school serves the community, with the Central Northeast and Deanwood school networks accessible via Benning Road and Central Avenue Metrobus routes. Mayfair's border location gives families awareness of both DC and Prince George's County school systems, though DC's charter network typically offers more specialized options. Ward 7 residents receive a priority point for Ward 7 schools and DC lottery access to competitive programs citywide.
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.
