Im a current senior at fairfax highschool and honestly it is not that great of a school. There are some very passionate teachers but also many that couldnt care less about their students. Counselors never truly want to help students and teachers often pick favorites. The school also has a major drug problem with multiple overdoses yet nobody seems to care. Never once walked into a bathroom without students smoking. Learning is very interesting though with a wide variety of courses and acadamy classes. Overall the staff is a huge problem at the school but education wise it's a great school.

Worst school in Fairfax county, do not let your kids come here if you don't want them to be around a kid who threatened to shoot up the same school and get praised by the county for it just because they had "good behavior"

My daughter has been at Colin Powell Elementary from kindergarten through 6th grade in the general education program, and we absolutely adore the teachers and staff. They are caring, dedicated, and make learning a wonderful experience.My son receives support through an IEP for his ADHD, and the staff have been incredibly supportive and loving toward him. They even attend his soccer games on Saturdays to cheer him on, which means so much to our family.To parents who feel that having children with autism or ADHD disrupts the classroom: public schools are designed for all students, and Fairfax County schools, like many across the country, are currently facing teacher shortages. The staff at Colin Powell Elementary are doing their absolute best to meet the needs of every child, and we are so grateful for their hard work and dedication.
