Neighborhood

Located on Washington DC's northeast side, Langdon is surrounded by popular neighborhoods: Brentwood, Woodridge, Gateway, and Brookland. Perhaps that is why Langdon hasn't been on the DC radar -- but that's about to change. Perhaps it's Langdon's green, hilly beauty or its historic bungalows. Maybe it's the easy access to the Rhode Island- Brentwood Metro Station. It could be the variety of shops and restaurants available along Rhode Island Avenue, or the unique Chuck Brown Memorial Park. Whatever the reason, Langdon -- with its tidy streets and close-knit community known for its block parties -- is about to get discovered.

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.
