Schools in Stanton Park

Stanton Park is a small Ward 6 neighborhood nestled between Capitol Hill and the Eastern Market area, named for the park at the corner of Massachusetts and Maryland Avenues NE. Two DCPS schools serve this compact community, with the full Capitol Hill and Ward 6 school ecosystem immediately accessible. Stanton Park's location at the heart of Ward 6 puts it within walking distance of Capitol Hill's strongest schools, including the charter programs along Pennsylvania Avenue SE and the DCPS schools in the Eastern Market and Barracks Row areas. Families in Stanton Park benefit from the neighborhood's position within one of DC's highest-density school choice zones. The Eastern Market Metro station (Blue/Orange/Silver lines) serves Stanton Park, and the neighborhood is walkable to the Library of Congress, Supreme Court, and US Capitol — extraordinary civic resources that area schools regularly use for field programming. The Stanton Park itself is a neighborhood gathering space, hosting community events throughout the school year. Ward 6 families receive a priority point for Ward 6 schools in the DC lottery. Stanton Park families exploring charter options will find Capitol Hill's strong charter network easily accessible — Two Rivers PCS, Capitol Hill Montessori, and others are within a short walk or bike ride from the neighborhood.
