[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is one of the smaller FCPS schools so it is easier to make teams and ECs.[/quote]

There are 25 regular/magnet high schools in FCPS.  Fairfax is #14 in terms of enrollment.

It used to be bigger but the City of Fairfax pushed some county kids out about a decade ago and they ended up at Woodson and Oakton instead.

That left Fairfax with an attendance island in the western part of the county that is closer to Centreville and Chantilly, but zoned for Fairfax.[/quote]

I don't think the "city" pushed them out. It occurred as part of a regular boundary change. [/quote]

The boundary change was done at the request of Fairfax city to reduce enrollment at Fairfax High.[/quote]

That may be what initiated it, but that was not the only change made. One of the previous PP made it sound like FHS was targeted and it wasn't.

Also while there may be neighborhoods closer to Cville and Chantilly, those schools are already overburdened. The other options for those schools were Woodson (where some were diverted) and Robinson. For those options, FHS is negligibly closer. [/quote]
