the question should be how well the fairfax school district is doing in their mission. are the students graduating? do they have the skills to do well in college? how do they perform vs the national average on the testing?

I live in Fairfax county. Without exaggerating, it is probably the very best public school system in the country. But yeah, it ain't cheap--- we paid over $10k in property taxes last year.
