Education
Fairfax County has been perennially rated one of the best public school systems in the country. [1] Vienna is home to one high school, two middle schools, and six elementary schools. However, of all the schools Vienna students attend, only four elementary schools: Cunningham Park, Louise Archer, Marshall Road, and Vienna Elementary are actually located in the official town limits.
The music program at James Madison High School boasts an award-winning marching band, "The Pride of Vienna", and color guard, two symphonic bands, jazz band, orchestra, and chorus. Their Varsity Baseball team has won 6 Liberty District Regular Season Titles, 4 Liberty District Tournament Championships, 1 state title (2002). A water tower stating "Home of the Warhawks" can be seen towering over the school. Thoreau Middle School shares a class with Kilmer Middle School (also located in Vienna) and Longfellow Middle School (located in Falls Church). All three schools have accelerated programs for students that are determined to be "Gifted and Talented." Close to Madison sit the six elementary schools: Flint Hill, Louise Archer (which also has a GT center program), Marshall Road, Vienna Elementary, Wolftrap, and Cunningham Park. Each of these schools feed into Thoreau, Kilmer or Longfellow, and then James Madison High School, Oakton High School (just outside Vienna on the border with Oakton, with a Vienna address), or George C. Marshall High School (in Falls Church). Because of the large influx of new residents in the last decade, the classes of '09, '10, and '11 at these regional high schools are expected to be the largest over the next ten years.
Vienna Little League, the Greater Vienna Babe Ruth League, Vienna Youth, Inc.'s recreational sports leagues and Vienna Youth Soccer (VYS) are the main sources of youth sports for Vienna.
