[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Stay away from the big warehouse schools like LB and Robinson--they're just too big. WSHS is the best bet of these.[/quote]

I think this was spoken by someone who doesn’t understand big schools. There are pros and cons to big and small schools.

I went to a big HS, and one of the benefits is that there is someone there for everyone - nerds, goths, hippies, athletic, etc. [/quote]

But none of these schools is small.

Remember, a "small" high school in fairfax county is around 2200 students, and a "big" high school in fairfax county is a campus between 4000 to 5000 kids.[/quote]

This is somewhat misleading. A high school in FCPS with around 2200 students would be slightly smaller than average.  The largest high school (Chantilly) has 2828 kids.  The smallest high school (Lee) has 1716 kids.

In addition to 22 high schools, FCPS has three secondary schools (grades 7-12): Lake Braddock, Robinson, and Hayfield.  Lake Braddock has 4225 kids, Robinson has 3785 kids, and Hayfield has 3020 kids.  Each of those schools has fewer kids in grades 9-12 than Chantilly.
