Healthy behavior is one of the main things to maintain life, especially in a pandemic situation. Therefore it needs to be instilled early to form a persistent behavior. Several studies have shown that knowledge is one of the factors that influence hygiene behavior. This study aims to determine the knowledge of elementary students about environmental health. This research is a quantitative study using a survey method. The sample in this study were students in grades 4,5 and 6 in two schools in South Tangerang. The results show that elementary students’ knowledge of environmental health is in the very good category. This is indicated by the average achievement of 96.73 of the ideal score.
