[quote=Anonymous]I had a child who attended FHS.  Some basics, it still exists with more than 800 children K-12 on two campuses.  It serves, largely, children who live in the suburbs of NOVA including Fairfax and Loudon counties.  Athletics and arts, especially the performing arts, play a prevalent role.  The school also has a significant international feel with students from many different countries and regions of the world.

My experience has been that the high school has become highly competitive in the last few years while it's still easier to enroll a child in the lower or middle school.  Often times parents utilize the school's Learning Center for bright children with a learning challenge such as dyslexia and adhd.  The school has an amazing sense of community.  It's warm and both students and parents participate and feel welcome.  There is some discussion of whether it is as academically competitive as some of the other area independent schools although one could assume if it is competing with FCPS for students there has to be some rigor to it.

Like all schools, it's a great fit for many but not for all.[/quote]
