The school system has established high and clear achievement standards and accountability measures for all FCPS students. The basic instructional program for FCPS is defined in the Program of Studies (link to http://www.fcps.edu/DIS/pos/), which defines objectives for all subjects. Strong emphasis is placed on writing, computation, and research skills.

Technology is used in all aspects of teaching and learning. The web-based FCPS 24-7 Learning program allows students, parents, and teachers to access homework and classroom assignments, to view class calendars, and to explore links to enrichment activities.
FCPS owns and operates the second largest school bus fleet in the country. Bus transportation (link to http://www.fcps.edu/fts/tran/index.htm) is provided for middle school students that live more than 1.5 miles from school.
