Fairfax County Public Schools, located in Fairfax County, Virginia, is the 13th largest school district in the United States, with over 164,000 students attending classes in 238 schools, and a $2.1 billion annual operating budget. It is a diverse and dynamic school system, and parents have come to expect and demand a lot from FCPS. FCPS has relied heavily on its information technology systems over the years to ensure facilities and classes run smoothly.
