South County High School

Horrific experience with 9th grade - son spent months in hospital and school has been beyond terrible in providing any assistance to get him back on track. Took 3 months to schedule a 504 meeting. Principal never returned phone calls. Assistant Principal didn't show up for 504, IEP, or Homebound instruction meetings. After 2 months, we got approval for homebound, but FCPS now refuses to do anything other than Zoom, even though the county health department specifically recommends kids returning to in-person instruction.Fairfax county is bad enough, but South County's lack of leadership has made a bad situation even worse.

My family has spent 4 years at South County. Our first year was pretty good but when the new principal came in it went extremely down hill. I have spoken to teachers who agree. The DSA is male chauvinist pig. Administration allows bullying including allowing staff to bully students. There is little to no communication coming from the school. Admin and staff rarely reply to an email.

New principal fixed the school and now things are good.

This school has been great for my family.
