Project Update April 2025: parking limitations on 8th St and Ingraham
Project Overview
Truesdell Elementary is a DC Public School located in Ward 4. The building received a partial (“Phase 1”) modernization in the early 2000s, and DCPS is returning to the campus to complete the modernization. DCPS intends to build a school to serve 657 students in a traditional elementary school setting. Truesdell ES will also receive funding to construct space for co-located Child Development Center that will serve 16 infants and 24 toddlers and expand DCPS' available Pre-K seats.
The modernized facility will be an approximately 105,000 square feet building involving full renovation of the existing facility and the construction of a new addition.
