“We are Family” is more than a motto

students in library

The Tall Oaks Elementary School motto is “We are family.” Small class sizes and high expectations create a climate for academic excellence. In recent years, Johnson has earned repeated honors through the Virginia Index of Performance program and has been a  Title 1 Distinguished School.  Serving preschool through grade 4, the school is located in the southwest section of the city on approximately 13 acres of wooded land.

 

 

 

 

 

The school actively builds community through family nights, after-school clubs, and special events such as its annual International Day celebrating the many cultures its students represent.
