Langdon Elementary School is a DCPS public elementary serving pre-K3 through 5th grade at 1900 Evarts Street NE in Eckington, Ward 5. Langdon is an OSSE-rated 4-star school and the only DCPS elementary in DC offering a Montessori-method strand within a traditional public school.
The Montessori option is unusual for a DCPS elementary — most Montessori in DC is charter or private. Families who want Montessori without paying private tuition often apply to Langdon's lottery seats.
Langdon feeds McKinley Middle School (a STEM-focused DCPS middle school) for grades 6–8. McKinley graduates can then continue to McKinley Tech High School, one of DC's selective application-based STEM high schools.
In-boundary Ward 5 / Eckington families guaranteed seats. Out-of-boundary applicants apply via My School DC before the late-January deadline; the Montessori strand has its own lottery preference within the school. School hours: 8:45 a.m. to 3:20 p.m. Uniforms required.
Current enrollment: 64% Black/African-American, 28% Hispanic/Latino, with smaller white, Asian, and multiracial populations.
