It is Washington D.C., but worth the mention if for no other reason that the fact that someone homeschooled - not in public or private school - won the regional.

"His winning research project was a computer algorithm that involved geolocation, a project he started a year and a half ago in Walkersville, where he is a home-schooled senior." [Frederick County teen wins regional science competition].
