Schools in West End

Updated August 2026

West End is a Ward 2 neighborhood adjacent to Foggy Bottom and Georgetown, a largely institutional and hotel-dense district with a small but growing residential population. One school serves the immediate residential community, with the Georgetown and Dupont Circle school networks accessible via the Foggy Bottom-GWU Metro station (Blue/Orange/Silver lines).

West End families exploring school options will look across Ward 2 and into Ward 3, both accessible within a short Metro ride. Ward 2 residents receive a priority point for Ward 2 schools.
