• Diversity Makes Us True To Our Mission

    It is by design that Washington Latin is one of the most diverse charter schools in the District of Columbia. Our mission is to provide a rigorous, classical education to students from all areas of the District. We are fulfilling that mission by enrolling students from all eight wards and through a demographic profile that mirrors that of the city itself.

  • Class of 2013 Continues Tradition of Success

    In June 2012, Washington Latin graduated its first senior class. This class of 42 seniors set the bar quite high for future classes at Latin. Of all students in the class of 2012 who attended Washington Latin in 9th grade, 93% graduated within four years. This 93% graduation rate was the highest of any non-selective public school in the District of Columbia.

  • Why Our Rigorous Curriculum Works

    When our students chose Washington Latin, they chose a school with a rigorous academic program. They are succeeding because they are fully engaged in their own education and are working very hard. At Washington Latin, we feel a responsibility to support and nurture our students as they take on this educational challenge.

  • Tier 1 Again!

    Middle and Upper Schools earn Tier 1 status for 3rd year in a row! Both the Washington Latin Upper and Middle Schools were once again named high-performing Tier One schools by the Public Charter School Board! Our Upper School had the highest overall percentage score (87%) of any charter high school and was one of only three charter high schools to be Tier 1 for three years in a row. The US also had the highest re-enrollment rate (90.6%) and the highest graduation rate (96%).  Let us celebrate the hard work that has brought us this far!
