A very inclusive school with a great diverse community and a group for everyone. I have been in other school districts and by far this is the best! They take problems like bullying, mental health, and financial issues very serious and make it so regardless of your circumstances you can participate. Teachers are very great. This district is very tough with school work, but do all they can to provide opportunities to their students and help them succeed!
I have been enrolled in and have attended Fairfax County Public Schools for my whole life, I'm a rising senior. Moving to four different areas in my lifetime, all within Fairfax County , I have gotten to see how many different schools within the county operate. At all schools I have been pleased by the County and grateful that I am able to attend schools that are apart of it. FCPS gives you opportunities to really grow and learn so much while forming meaningful connections with teachers, staff, and peers. I have always felt safe and welcomed by the staff in all of the Fairfax County schools I have attended or visited. All schools are so diverse and offer a ton of programs, clubs, extracurriculars, and more opportunities to fit the interests and allow their students to be involved! It's an amazing school district and I am very fortunate to have grown up and received an education from within it.
Fairfax county public schools are known to consist of some of the best public schools in America.
With a very diverse student body, FCPS schools are known to foster openminded and driven students.
Like many public schools however, there are some complications. In my opinion, the school lunches have much room for improvement. Obesity is a large problem in the united states, and by continuing to feed students with processed and microwaveable foods, schools are continuing to put students and their health at risk.
Besides the food, Fairfax County public schools have a fair student to teacher ratio. In addition, the administration offices and academic opportunities such as AP and IB classes are unbeatable. For example, the IB office in Robinson Secondary was very helpful.
