NP here. We used to live in Cameron Station, which is part of ACPS. The area is brand new and is full of professionals. Most all families who sent their kids to Tucker Elementary seemed quite pleased with the school. The parents are very involved, part of the PTA, etc. I'm not as familiar with the other deemed good elementary schools but there are a few that come up often. If your child is motivated, I think your child could do quite well in Alexandria City.

We moved out of Cameron Station for more space but I would have been perfectly fine with sending my children to Tucker.[/quote]

The area is not brand new.  It's been around 10+ years now.

Tucker is a year round school and that appeals to many families because then their is no concern about summer camp.  They also bring kids in from all over the City. Cameron Station kids do not fill the elementary school and never have.  Families in Cameron Station are able to opt out of Tucker because of the year round program and go to other City schools.  Also families choose private school.  Lastly,  Tucker has very low test scores, get a rating of "2" on great schools.  Good for you for being "perfectly fine" with sending your child to a school that is pretty much failing.[/quote]
