Falls Church City Public Schools (FCCPS) is an independent public school division that serves students who live in the Washington, D.C. suburb of the City of Falls Church, Virginia as well as tuition students who live outside the city limits. The school division's four, now five in 2015, schools served 2,415 students in the 2013-2014 school year.〔 The on-time graduation rate is 97 percent.〔 The 2013 SAT score average was 1764.〔("About FCCPS" ). FCCPS.org.〕 Of the now five schools in the FCCPS system, only one, Mt. Daniel Elementary School, is located outside the city boundaries in neighboring Fairfax County. Previously two other schools were outside the city's borders, but they became included when the city line was readjusted following the settlement of a dispute with the county over the City's water system.〔Barton, Mary Ann.

"This agreement also included a boundary adjustment that transferred 38.4 acres of land into the City of Falls Church. The largest parcel includes the 36 acres on which the City's George Mason High School and Mary Ellen Henderson Middle School sit."〕 The FCCPS officially became an independent school system on June 27, 1949, when the Virginia Board of Education authorized its separation from the Fairfax County school system. Falls Church had obtained the enabling legislation to form an independent city in the year before, in 1948. ==Schools== *Mount Daniel School named after a street (Pre-School - 1st Grade)〔("Website: Mount Daniel School" ).
