George Mason is probably the best option after TJ. I don’t pay too much attention to rankings, but it’s ranked 2nd in VA and 17th or so in the US. It’s a beautiful and affluent neighborhood with low crime rate and a great atmosphere. It’s the only high school in FC City, and the city itself is the kind with a lot of fine dining and such. It’s also really close to Tyson’s Corner Center, the premier shopping center in NOVA.

Overbyen - I live in the other townhouses near FCHS and I’ve lived there for 8 years. I’ve seen some pretty gruesome things. It used to be a criminal hub; in the first year I lived there, there were at least 5 people who got murdered or raped, and there was a police station placed in the neighborhood. In the past 3 or so years, there have been really only petty crimes. Believe it or not, the high school is pretty safe despite this.

FCHS is a great option because it’s a small school and it’s easy to talk to/ get to know teachers, get leadership positions, start clubs, and your teachers really know you well. In all honesty, any high school in Ffx Cty is great, but I back Falls Church all the way. And I know about all the other high schools too, believe me
