2019 Family Guide to DCPS High Schools

Citywide: a school that does not have a boundary and therefore cannot be claimed as an in-boundary school. Citywide schools can only be accessed through the lottery and do not provide guaranteed enrollment to any new student. Ron Brown is the only DCPS citywide application high school.

Selective: a school or program that admits students based on specific eligibility criteria. DCPS has eight selective application high schools and programs: Banneker, Bard DC, Columbia Heights Education Campus, Duke Ellington, Early College Academy at Coolidge High School, McKinley Tech, Phelps, and School Without Walls.

Destination School (also feeder pattern school): a middle, high, or education campus school that a student has a right to attend based on the student completing the terminal grade at an elementary or middle school during the previous school year.

Application high school: a DCPS high school or program that requires an application for entry into the school. There are two types of DCPS application high schools and programs.

Out-of-boundary school: a school other than a student’s in-boundary school.
