You could also consider Stokes' new East End campus, which is about a 20 minute drive from Ft. Lincoln.

Do you mind sharing which charter?
Sure - our nearby elementary is Stokes.

Two Rivers Young, it is a 12-18 minute drive depending on traffic. Usually about 15.

Check out Langley. We have families from your area and it is easier to get into than Burroughs.

She was a lot better than the past 2 teachers he’s had at our current charter. However, the school does lack diversity which wasn’t a real problem but language was important too. I encourage you to visit, you will be surprised. The principal didn’t talk much when I saw him at a community event but he was there. Check out Burroughs.
Thanks! Adding Burroughs to my list.

Commuting from Ft. Lincoln to Ward 5 charters including Stokes, Lee, Inspired Teaching, Yu Ying, Shining Stars, etc. is no different than commuting through the Hill to the schools mentioned above.

We live In Woodridge and parents we know send their kids to DC Bilingual, Langdon, Inspired Teaching, Christian Family Montessori (private), Stokes, YuYing, Barnard, and SWS.

Alternatively, work with your neighbors to support the school that already exists. I understand the desire for a walkable school, but when your neighborhood school is underenrolled, the solution is not to build a new school. It's to strengthen the existing one.

What about the present; that is the question.

Most families I know (and my DCs) head down to Capitol Hill each day — takes about 20 minutes to drop at the schools there — PK3 might be hard to find a spot but make sure to put AT Lincoln Park, Payne and JO which all have good programs. Good Luck!

I love the community, but it feels like commuting to some Ward 5 charters would be horrendous. Ft Lincoln parents, where did you end up sending your kids? Are there any DCPS or DC charters that I should consider, given the proximity of our neighborhood?
