These geographic designations all serve as short-hand generally to indicate the quality of the school.  In the broadest, most-general terms (still sure to annoy many readers) a break down:  many of the people on this site consider WOTP schools (i.e., those that feed into Wilson High School) as the most desirable, but most would send kids to many of the EOTP/WOTR schools for early years.  EOTP parents complain about no good path.  WOTP parents complain about over crowded schools.

HRCS - Highly-Regarded Charter School (as others have noted, started as a joke, now used to refer to a shifting group of charter schools that people find desirable at the moment)
EA - Early Action (schools were PK3/PK4 in-bound students are guaranteed a spot)
ECE - Early Childhood Education (PK3/PK4)

DCPS - DC Public Schools
DCPCS - DC Public Charter Schools
