At Long Branch, our goal is to provide a well-rounded, rigorous education without compromising high academic standards and prepare students to become productive, responsible citizens ready to meet the challenges of a changing and exciting future.

 

 

On March 19, 2013, Mrs. Chacon's and Mrs. Machan's fifth grade academic team competed in the 2013 Spring Knowledge Master Open (KMO). Knowledge Master itself is no mere trivia contest. Teams are required to answer 100 higher-level thinking questions that cover fourteen curriculum areas, such as History, Government, Recent Events, English, Math, Science and the Fine Arts. The students matched their knowledge against 185 other fifth grade teams from across the United States and around the world. The Long Branch ES team was the only Arlington elementary school to compete and ranked 3rd among all the Virginia teams while ranking 42nd overall in the competition. Congratulations, Team Long Branch!
