No, it's in Fairfax County. Its address is Alexandria, but it's not inside the City of Alexandria[1]. [1] https://www.google.com/maps/place/Thomas+Jefferson+Hi

  Well, chalk one up for "Virginia politics are stupid and unnecessarily complicated". I just learned that our school "divisions" (not districts like the rest of the country) have no correlation to our municipal structure, but also are incapable of doing their own revenue collection. We still can't afford basic stuff for our schools, despite NoVA being regularly ranked one of the richest areas in the country. Urban schools get about 1% more per student than rural schools from the state. They claim to incorporate cost of living adjustments, but it's clearly not enough if we can't do basic things like hire enough bus drivers. This bullshit is a vestige of the Civil War when West Virginia split of to be an abolitionist state. I don't understand the fetishization of such "culturally important" (sarcasm) things like municipal structure when what we have is not working. "This hammer was my great, great grandpappies, that he bought from the Sears Robucks Catalog in 1887. Yes, the handle is cracked and the claw can't grip modern nail heads, but by God, it was good enough for him, it'll be good enough for us".
