Fairfax County Public Schools

Students in Fairfax County Public Schools (FCPS) generally attend their neighborhood school, determined by where they live. In certain cases (such as childcare or family relocation), students may request a transfer to another school in the district (called intradistrict choice). Under the federal No Child Left Behind law, students attending a Title I school designated as "in need of improvement" have the right to attend a higher-performing school in the district.
