How To Qualify
Located about seven miles southeast of Downtown Washington, DC, Congress Heights is a historic neighborhood experiencing revitalization. The neighborhood is home to the historic Saint Elizabeth’s Hospital and the US Coast Guard headquarters. Congress Heights is emerging as a hub for leisure and sports thanks to the newly built Entertainment and Sports Arena and Gateway DC, a green space used for festivals, farmers markets, and other community events. As far as rentals, Congress Heights is one of the most affordable places to live in the capital with condos, apartments, houses, and 20th-century townhomes available for rent.
Although the neighborhood has garnered more attention recently for its newer additions, Congress Heights is known for its tight-knit community and rich culture. Block parties are common and locals gather at community spaces like the Town Hall Education Arts Recreation Campus and the Congress Heights Arts and Culture Center.

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.
