Langley Elementary School is a DCPS public elementary serving pre-K3 through 5th grade at 101 T Street NE in Eckington, Ward 5. Langley positions itself as a "loving school family" with explicit equal weight on academic rigor and social-emotional development — the latter is unusual to make as visible a part of a DCPS elementary's identity as Langley does.
Langley's mission explicitly names social-emotional development as equal to academics. Morning meetings, classroom restorative circles, and SEL curriculum (Second Step or equivalent) run alongside CKLA literacy and Eureka Math.
Langley feeds McKinley Middle School (STEM-focused DCPS middle) for grades 6 to 8 under the DCPS boundary system, then McKinley Tech High School or out-of-boundary high school via lottery.
In-boundary Ward 5 / Eckington families guaranteed seats. Out-of-boundary applicants apply via My School DC before the late-January deadline. School hours: 8:15 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. Uniforms required.
Current enrollment: 66% Black/African-American, 15% white non-Hispanic, 14% Hispanic/Latino, 3% Asian, with small multiracial and other populations.
