I’m disappointed by a comment like this. Are some Northern Virginians completely unaware of the powerhouse schools in other parts of the state? When students go to summer programs and academic competitions, do they not see students from other regions?</p>
<p>Fairfax County Public Schools are wonderful, but I think there are plenty of strong schools in other areas. For years when I was at a highly selective school in Boston, I looked forward to my Virginia trip because there were great kids at every single stop I made. I won’t name my two favorite schools ;), but they were in Lynchburg and Richmond.</p>
