This is a list of the Eighth Grade school children who successfully completed the requirements to enter high school. Street addresses were taken from the 1889 DC Directory.
In early years, the schools were organized into numbered divisions and within each division, numbered schools. The schools were typically referred to by their division and school numbers. However, they were sometimes referred to by the building where they were located. Thus, the Division 1 schools numbering 1 through 3 were sometimes referred to as the 'Franklin School' because they occupied the 'Franklin Building.' However, the reader should keep in mind that over time, the division lines were redrawn and the schools within a division might be renumbered as populations shifted. School numbers were not transcribed since the school name is a more recognizable identifier. June 1889, Division numbers were transcribed for historical reference.
