There’s a special site accessible just to DC government employees, which shows PG County as zoned for every DC public and charter school.

http://find.myschooldc.org/ - this one is better because it shows all schools.


No, its not a great link because it shows all schools you can apply too via the lottery, not enroll at - we can't even see current waitlist lengths so not sure how we are supposed to know if we can even apply now that the lottery is done.


I put my address in and it showed my in-boundary middle school was MacFarland AND Deal. WTH? I'm new to DC. What do I do?


That means you can go to Deal but also have a programmatic feeder path to MacFarland if your child is in the Spanish language program.


It means that if your child is entering 6th grade next year or any year prior to 2022 then you have the choice between the two. The area where you live was grandfathered in to boundaries prior to the 2014 boundary review/change. After 2022, you will (most likely) only be zoned for MacFarland. Beginning next year, MacFarland will have a traditional middle school program in addition to the Spanish language program and several elementary/education campuses will begin feeding there.


The .pdf on this page confirms what this PP is saying.

You can apply regardless of the length.

Can someone help me find the proper in-boundary look-up site?
