English learner
Students with limited English proficiency can apply to any DCPS or public charter school. Public schools do not discriminate based on the language needs or preferred home language of students. The My School DC application asks for the guardian’s preferred language so My School DC can better communicate with the guardian. It is not used for a student's placement and does not impact lottery results in any way.
Students with disabilities
Students with disabilities can apply to any DCPS or public charter school.
