Braddock Elementary School

We experienced the great school rating for Braddock drop in 2013 and now in 2020 it's rose from a 2 to a 5. That's amazing and I applaud the school staff for their efforts. Personally, we've had nothing but positive experiences with the advanced academics offerings at the school for both children. I love the fact that the school offers two-way immersion (Spanish/English) and fosters a positive environment for learning. The math curriculum is great as well.

We are finishing up our second year at Braddock. I am so impressed with the dedication of the staff, administration, and teachers to this community. The students share a pride in their school. The programs, like Robotics, offered to the students (most for a very minimal or NO cost) are amazing. This school is one of the only in FCPS to offer Spanish-immersion starting in kindergarten. I cannot say enough good things about what Braddock has to offer. My son is very happy there.

Both of my kids went there for all of their entire elementary years. All of the teachers were great, and both are now in Honors/IB courses. My youngest graduated 3 years ago.The only reason I gave it a 4 is because of the horrible traffic, something that every Fairfax County school has. Perhaps if FFC staggered arrival and departure times a bit and allowed more flexibility for parents, it wouldn't be so bad.

The new Principal Jackson-Muir is fantastic and really cares about the kids and encourages everyone to participate within the school: parents, grandparents, etc. She has ensured that kids with allergies are protected by informing parents and teachers that children with allergies are in their classrooms. They also have a special nut-free table in the cafeteria or a kid can eat lunch with a few friends in the library if the allergy is severe. I really appreciate Principal Jackson-Muir and the wonderful teachers involved in my child's life.
