[quote=Anonymous]Okay, I seriously would like to know what high schools in Fairfax County to avoid?   You would think that only Langley, McLean, Madison Oakton, Woodson, Madison, and Marshall are the only high schools in Fairfax County.   Besides lower SAT and state test scores, what is wrong with the other high schools?  High test scores don't tell me things like the quality of teachers, the quality of administrators, class ratio, discipline problems, the quality of counselors (are they helpful?), school safety, etc.

How come no one ever talks about the other high schools?   Is it because  high percentage of FARM students, the general morale of students, safety, parental support, the distance from DC, or what?  Why do people turn the noses at the other high schools in Fairfax County?  I see that Chantilly has the Governor's STEM program, how is the program?

I read in the Washington Post awhile back about Fairfax County having a problem with MS-13.  Is there a MS-13 gang presence at any of the high schools or not?  Are there any high schools that you would consider unsafe in Fairfax County?

Does your child ever feel unsafe at their high school?   If so, how did the administrators resolve this matter?

Also, How do you and your child feel about the quality of teachers, counselors, and the administrators at your child's school?

Sorry, for so many questions.  However, no one talks about other important information regarding high schools in Fairfax County  beyond test scores.       [/quote]
