School Overview
River Terrace Education Campus (EC) is a specialized public school located in the Deanwood neighborhood of Northeast Washington, D.C. It is unique within the District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS) system because it serves students with complex physical, medical, and developmental disabilities.

The school is noted for its student-centered approach, aiming to foster independence and growth for learners who require a more supportive setting than a traditional general education classroom.
