This comment makes no sense at all.  Yes, all Fairfax City kids go to Fairfax.  But, the reason those kids out near Clifton/Centreville go there is because of the overcrowding at Centreville.  Period. Some of them live a mile from Centreville.   The next closest school to them is Chantilly, which is also overcrowded.  It has nothing to do with Woodson or Oakton.

I understand why you might say this, but you're missing part of the picture.   Send the Powell/Willow Springs kids now at Fairfax to Centreville, and Centreville's enrollment - which is around 2600 - easily goes up another 400-500 kids to over 3000, while Fairfax's enrollment would go down the same amount.  And Fairfax wouldn't have other areas to pick up because the other kids closer to Fairfax are already attending Woodson and Oakton. It is very much a product of the proximity of multiple high schools near Fairfax and the fact that neither FCPS nor the City of Fairfax want Fairfax HS to be a "runt" school with far fewer kids than other schools in the area.
