Summary

Tuckahoe Elementary is a top-performing public elementary school in Arlington, Virginia, serving 453 students in grades PK-5. The school consistently ranks among the best in the state, with exceptional academic achievement across all grade levels and subject areas.

Tuckahoe Elementary's academic performance is truly impressive, with students significantly outperforming their peers in the Arlington County Public Schools district and the state of Virginia. In the 2024-2025 school year, Tuckahoe's 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students achieved proficiency rates of over 90% in both mathematics and English reading, with 5th-graders reaching nearly 99% proficiency in science and Virginia Studies. The school's diverse student population, with a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggests that Tuckahoe's academic success is not limited to any particular subgroup.

While Tuckahoe Elementary's performance is exceptional compared to other schools in the Arlington County Public Schools district, it faces some competition from nearby schools in the Fairfax County Public Schools district, such as Chesterbrook Elementary and Haycock Elementary, which have also demonstrated strong academic performance. However, Tuckahoe's consistently high rankings, low student-teacher ratio, and above-average spending per student suggest that it remains one of the top elementary schools in the region.
