Best school area in Fairfax VA?


I am considering move to Fairfax County VA. Like to find out which district is the best school area within Alexandria, Burke, Springfield, Vienna, and all other areas?

The entire FAIRFAX COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM is Quality #1! Teachers are dedicated and from my view as a parent of 3, I have yet to see a poor or so-so quality one that I regretted. Most parents themselves are college educated and in general the SAT college boards are above average plus the school system doesn't tolerate slackers. Don't get me wrong bec some schools closer in where lower income and less educated residents live together in apartments do have lower test scores, but if you are from the Northern VA area you will know where to look for such statistics on the FCPS website in order to shop for home locations or within boundaries for particular school as certain locations are more sought after. The FCPS does work extra hard to bring up Standards of Learning (SOL) test scores as such schools run on modified calendar starting earlier in August and have extra resources <= My familiarity is based strictly on helping family members who did not analyze their home purchase location correctly so they had to pickup and move a 2nd time.

Recommend: Burke, Fairfax, West Springfield, Falls Church, McLean, Tysons, Vienna, Oakton, Clifton, Centreville, Chantilly.

Avoid: Annandale, Alexandria, Baileys Crossroads

Hope the Above Info Helps!

Burke, Springfield, and Clifton.

Centreville and Clifton

for elementary? probably fair lakes area and springfield.
