Neighborhood

As its name would suggest, Hill East sits immediately east of Capitol Hill along the Anacostia River. The neighborhood is filled with government buildings and offices near the river, and the other half of town is lined with upscale apartments, condos, and townhomes. Hill East sits about five miles from Downtown Washington, DC, making it a great place for commuters to call home. Riverfront parks, stadiums, and arenas surround this neighborhood, so there are plenty of entertainment opportunities near town. A metro station sits in town, with even more stations along Pennsylvania Avenue on the south end of Hill East.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
