Tuckahoe Elementary is the primary elementary school for East Falls Church residents. Its mission is to develop responsible, life-long learners by providing quality education through inquiry-based, differentiated, and multi-sensory instruction in a nurturing environment that maximizes classroom, outdoor, and technological resources.
The school was constructed in 1953 with 16 classrooms, a library, and several smaller rooms. It has an active Parent Teacher Association, provides an after-school program, and has a school bus service for students living more than one mile from the facility.
Its faculty believes that showing respect, being responsible, and remembering the rights of others promotes good citizenship. Using the Responsive Classroom approach to teaching, educators believe that social and academic programs are equally important. They focus as much on how children learn as what they learn. Its classroom communities develop an environment where everyone can learn, feel safe, and have fun.
Tuckahoe's Discovery Schoolyard program provides a creative and innovative way to meet the needs of the whole child by using the schoolyard as a context for integrating the APS curriculum and providing cross-graded experiences.
Tuckahoe Elementary also serves as a sister school to Matuwa Primary School in Uganda, providing students with a global educational perspective.

A wonderful community - located in an upper-middle class, white neighborhood. Kids coming from affluent families naturally tend to do well. The school, however, doesn't do much to promote academic excellence. Principal and asst. principal significantly lack leadership skills and that trickles down through the organization. It has some good terachers but administration is holding them back from doing their best. School might be better off under new leadership.

My son has never been happier. A great school.

This school is average at best. The only reason kids do well on tests is as a result of the upper-middle class, professional neighborhood this school is located in.
