Public School Enrollment by Race and Ethnicity

In SY2024-25, public schools in Congress Heights (Cluster 39) enrolled the greatest number of African American or Black students followed next by public schools located in Edgewood and Bloomingdale (Cluster 21) and Union Station, Stanton Park, and Kingman Park (Cluster 25). Public schools in Columbia Heights (Cluster 2) and Brightwood Park and Petworth (Cluster 18) enrolled the most Hispanic students. Public schools in Friendship Heights (Cluster 11); Union Station, Stanton Park, Kingman Park (Cluster 25); and Brightwood Park, Crestwood, Petworth (Cluster 18) enrolled the most white students.

As a percent of total public school enrollment, schools located in neighborhood clusters located to the immediate west and east of the Anacostia River have the highest share of Black students, while schools located in neighborhood clusters in the far northwest enroll the greatest share of white students. Schools in Columbia Heights (Cluster 2), Kalorama Heights and Adams Morgan (Cluster 1), Brightwood Park and Petworth (Cluster 18), Takoma and Brightwood (Cluster 17), and Lamont Riggs (Cluster 19) enrolled proportionately more Hispanic students than the total public school enrollment. These neighborhoods are also where the most English learner students live.

In addition to exploring data by neighborhood cluster, users can also display public school enrollment by Ward (2022), Comprehensive Plan Planning Areas, and DCPS high school boundary.
