Seaton Elementary School

What Seaton Elementary School does

Seaton Elementary School is a District of Columbia Public School (DCPS) serving approximately 398 projected students from PK3 through 5th grade in the Historic Shaw neighborhood of Washington, D.C. The school delivers standard DCPS academic instruction alongside a differentiated set of programs including a six-member mental health team operating a Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS), an extensive afterschool enrichment catalog (chess, soccer, pottery, LEGO, Spanish, guitar, dance, art, garden, Girls on the Run, DC Scores), and equity/inclusion programming such as Black Lives Matter Week at Schools and the Welcoming Schools program (HRC Seal of Excellence, 2023). Core technology is limited to standard DCPS educational platforms (Aspen, Nutrislice, Remind → ParentSquare); the school has no proprietary technology, API, or AI capability.

Operationally, Seaton is funded almost entirely through a DCPS budget allocation of $9.4 million for SY 2026-2027, tied to projected per-pupil enrollment. It is not a commercial enterprise: there is no equity funding, no parent-company revenue transfer, and no pricing model in the conventional sense. Ancillary income streams are immaterial — a Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) with a $40,000 annual fundraising goal, modest enrichment club fees ($80–$245 per session), and YMCA aftercare ($360/month plus $50 registration) — all supporting enrichment rather than core operations.

The school is currently mid-transition. A two-year building modernization beginning August 2026 will temporarily relocate operations to a swing space at K.C. Lewis (300 Bryant Street NW) through SY 2027-2028, with a planned return in August 2028. Concurrently, DCPS is standing up a new middle school (Euclid) for Seaton families, with Seaton's principal and two parents on the planning working group. The school is also expanding capacity to three full cohorts for grades 4 and 5 by SY 2027-2028 and has secured bus transportation (Deadwyler Transportation) for all PK3–Grade 5 students starting SY 2026-2027.
