Braddock Elementary School is a public elementary school in Annandale.

On February 23, 1964, a 15-year-old youth set a fire in the school to cover an earlier petty theft, causing $300,000 worth of damage.[1][2] While the school was being repaired, students attended class at the unfinished Jefferson High School.
