[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So where are the close in small or moderately sized schools with good reputations in NVA located then? All I see is big ones.[/quote]

There aren't any. AFAIK, the only general admission public high school in Northern Virginia with fewer than 1000 students is George Mason High in FCC.

Alexandria's only public high school is TC Williams. It has a 9th grade campus with 715 students and a 10-12 campus with 2569 students. In Arlington, Wakefield has 1507, Washington-Lee has 2008, and Yorktown has 1766. And Fairfax County's smallest high school is Falls Church HS with 1458.

These numbers are off, whether for 2012-13 or today.

HS Enrollments as of September 2013 can be found at p. 14 of this report:  http://www.fcps.edu/it/studentreporting/documents/EthnicRpt13.pdf [/quote]

Thanks for posting this link of most recent enrollment. The numbers I posted above are straight off the demographic data pages of each of the high schools, so they must have been accurate at some point during 2012-2013. Regardless, the larger point remains: There are no "small" public general high schools in Fairfax County.[/quote]
