Less than twenty miles west of Washington on Interstate 66, Fairfax is a small suburban community that has become quite popular with DC-area commuters seeking a quiet home environment. Families love the quaint atmosphere, excellent public schools, and friendly neighbors. Local community festivals celebrating everything from Irish heritage to the arts to chocolate are always popular with the locals, and the city’s public parks, playgrounds, and walkable downtown district give folks ample opportunities to spend time outdoors.
The student body of neighboring George Mason University is actually larger than the entire population of Fairfax, and many students, faculty, and staff members call the city home—consequently, locals enjoy access to the attractions and resources of the campus as well as a unique blend of amenities catering to the college. The Metro’s Orange Line serves the community through Vienna Station, giving folks the ability to easily reach the nation’s capital without the use of a personal vehicle.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
