I graduated from this hell hole last year, '25. And has been quite possibly the worst high school…read moreI've ever been to. I've been the multiple high schools before as I am a military student and as I was PCS from California to Virginia where I am now I was excited because you know big school new friends hallelujah right? Wrong. So getting into the school as a military student, they fucked up my transcript and all my credits so my mother and I had to fight to get my credits transferred from California to Virginia because they've never done this before. Excuse me you are a purple star, School and you've never done this before with the military student. Are you insane? Anyways the only reason there are purple star school is because I spoke at the purple star like speech thing and so you know that's something I did by the way. So I came in second semester of sophomore year, so I finished that my geometry teacher was my favorite teacher of all time at the school no doubt about it. If we're talking the arts program, I personally was a choir kid which is really good and we were able to grab our numbers in the three years from when I joined so that was good. Fast-forward to junior year around mid early October shit started happening. I'm very religious. I am a Jew. I am very proud of my Jewishness, in a very proud of the people that I surround myself with as a Jew. My friend got Nazi salute that on a bus they were small because everywhere I got hate crime. Multiple of my other Jewish friends got hate crimes and my parents had to go up to the school and threaten them to keep me and my friend safe because I did not want to go to school. My mental health got so bad during this time. Period that I had to wake up and tear myself out of my bed because that's how fucking bad the administration of this fucking school did not handle antisemitism or racism because it wasn't just antisemitism because there were multiple people making multiple comments about so many other things that surrounding me my friend group I was pissed junior year flies by I fucking hate crime. I have to have this whole conversation with a girl who said some fuck shit to me in front of my friends I was talking to them and I got fucking pissed right fast-forward to senior year. My friend goes into the boys bathroom and there is still a swastika from the previous school year. there have been multiple swat sightings throughout, said school year and there has been nothing done about it. The only person who really did anything about anything was my parent and Miss Hampton because those are the people who actually looked out for your children and who actually looked out for me in my family so no the school is a fucking piece of shit. The admin are absolutely insane. It won't do anything about anything. Anyways, this school sucks don't go here. I'm so fucking mad at the school.

Very impressive! Above the whole room is a large white dome. It starts out lit up like daytime but then the sun sets, the light fades, and the stars appear. The show, The Night Sky and our place in the Cosmos, was approximately 45 minutes. It was very informative, fun and impressive all wrapped in one. We went on a narrated journey through the cosmos with stars, constellations, nebulas, planets, solar systems, and galaxies. Our guide and narrator, Ms. Stewart (the astronomy teacher), did a fantastic job; she made it fun & you just wanted to her keep going so you could keep learning & soaking up as much as you could. The experience was super cool!

To help Future generations of students who are forced to attend public school:…read more Other than the cellphone policy this school is pretty good, but the lunch food isn't great but THE MOTZERELLA STICKS ARE SO GOOD!!! Every school in Fairfax county has to abide by the cell phone policy and I find it problematic because listening to music helps me focus and Spotify is blocked on the computers and Pandora has too many ads. Most kids are nice and the teachers try, not all of them are perfect but they do their jobs. I am looking back at horror stories from when they were renovating this place so I'm glad we're not going through that anymore! One of my teachers let me make the seating chart because she didn't want to. I don't like the metal detectors, according to the school news paper 77% of kids think that they don't improve safety. But not really something I can control they have them at all secondary schools in Fairfax. (Or at least are trying to). One of my friends backpacks keeps going off because it has metal attached to it so they get stopped every morning. There is a crowd for everyone here and it is genuinely one of the best schools I've attended. The staff is wonderful and my councilor is wonderful. They have a lot of programs and even though the classes are stressful because Fairfax... they can be really fun. If you find an unblocked game website you're good to go! A lot of people who were students come back as teachers because they enjoyed it, might see me as a teacher here in a few years, not quite sure what I want to be though. If it were up to me, I would remove the SOLS but I can't do that. All and all this is a pretty nice school--just don't mind the random red goop on the ceiling in the language bathroom that's been there for a year, we don't know what that is, might be an alien not gonna lie. (There's a lot of smoking but it's easy to avoid). --Josie 10th grd

Also it's overcrowded and the halls regularly come to a standstill multiple times a day. I thought I might miss the place when I graduated, but I loathe this school nearly two years later. I only hope my generation can fix the mess you all made of the school system. Grow as a community and try to think what it's like being a young adult treated this way before your students resent you more than they already do.

Mount Vernon (M.V.) is a 6 A high school in Fairfax County. Considering the fact that Fairfax…read morecounty consists of the best schools in the state. But it also has its share of bad schools. Unfortunately Mount Vernon is one of them. In the halls of M.V. there is always inappropriate behavior. Whether it's fights, students throwing things, or bad/vulgar language being talked about loudly. As a student I can name multiple times each of those things happening and there are surely more that I am not aware of. The (boys) bathrooms are also horrible and very uncomfortable. There is always sketchy behavior in the bathroom. You can choose any bathroom IN THE ENTIRE SCHOOL and 9 times out of 10 they always reek of the smell of weed. Along with the bathrooms smelling really bad they are also just poorly cleaned. There are puddles of pee on the floor (sometimes poop) and for whatever reasons there is hardly ever toilet paper, soap dispensers, and paper towels. Students also decide that the bathroom is a good place to fight. If that isn't bad enough for you, if you go in the bathroom at the wrong time people take pictures of you while you're using the bathroom. The cafeteria isn't as bad as the hallway and bathrooms but it's not good. School lunch is okay. What is really bad about the cafeteria is that it is a very dirty place. There is food from the last day still on the table and the floors are the equivalent of 7-11 floors. Most students in the cafeteria are out of control and they throw food. The teachers were always very nice people but weren't the best at teaching. (There are some good ones) But they always seemed to give me a hard time when I asked for a simple favor. I felt lost in all of my classes and I am a pretty good student. If I can give this school lower then a 1 star I would
