My understanding is that it's illegal to go to Fairfax County schools while living outside of Fairfax. Anyone who is caught doing this can be required to reimburse the school system for the cost of educating their child. This makes sense because the schools are funded primarily by local property taxes so if you aren't paying taxes in the county you are not helping to fund the schools.
Based on that, I would assume that Loudoun would have the same policy. But I don't know that for a fact, so you should check into it, since the consequences can be expensive.
The one exception is Thomas Jefferson High School. I think they have reciprocity with some neighboring areas to accept a certain number of their students, with the students' county governments reimbursing Fairfax County. At least it used to be that way -- I remember it was controversial that some Fairfax County students were being shut out to make room for students from elsewhere.
