Fairfax County Public Schools


Summary:

The Fairfax County Public Schools district encompasses 199 schools, including 145 elementary schools, 24 middle schools, 28 high schools, and 2 alternative schools, serving students from pre-kindergarten through 12th grade. The district is known for its strong academic performance, with several schools consistently ranking among the top in Virginia and the nation.

Some of the standout schools in the district include Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology, which is consistently ranked among the top schools in the country, and Langley High School and Woodson High School, both of which have 5-star ratings and exceptional performance across various subject areas. On the elementary level, Wakefield Forest Elementary stands out with its exceptional proficiency rates in Mathematics and English Reading.

The district also faces challenges with chronic absenteeism, which is an area that warrants further investigation and targeted interventions to improve student engagement and attendance.
