At Takoma Elementary School, our diverse and inclusive school community fosters the development of confident, happy, healthy, and successful children with strong academic and social skills. As a community school, we invite organizations from across the city to partner with us in providing a robust, culturally responsive experience for all students. We provide rigorous and engaging arts-integrated learning that culminates with students producing interactive showcases of their knowledge. At Takoma ES, we utilize best practices in intervention and acceleration to meet all students where they are.
