Is this why Fairfax Co doesn’t have middle school sports?

No. Fairfax Middle Schools start at 7:30am. They have never had the same sports tradition they arlington has. They had intramural after school sports at their schools, just didn’t play against other schools like Arlington does. Maybe because they are further apart and don’t have buses available. [/quote]

Fairfax Middle Schools did start later than high schools until about 5 years ago. Then, they switched times with the high schools, who used to start first and now start second, with elementary schools still starting last. (They also share the same buses, like Arlington). During that process, some parents wanted elementary schools to start first due to childcare, but that would have meant that small children would have had to wait for buses in the dark in wintertime. Also, just as people here are discussing, people realized that moving middle school times later would interfere with after-school activities.

I went to FCPS in the 1990s. Middle school started first then high school then elem. You are totally wrong about time switch 5 years ago. [/quote]
