This is a great school. My daughter started kindergarten here this year. She can now read and write fluently and even 'gets' math. She learned so much in one school year. I also had a son who started 7th grade here and he had a little more trouble only because we came from a school district from another

Also, only certain teachers put their information online so you can check grades, assignments, etc., and I think the school should be providing it (apparently the teachers have to pay for this themselves). I found the school grounds to be very beautiful and my son did not have any problems with other children and bullying, etc. Read less

We are having primarily a bad experience with this school due to poor leadership in the current administration. Very disappointed the way every day things are handled. Like discipline, enrichment programs for gifted children and health and safety. Submitted by a parent

If you child is independent and compliant, expect no problems.

The school has lots of good students and dedicated parents. But we are disappointed in the school in terms of focusing on the academic achievements.

Our experience with the school has been 1 & 2nd grades. School seems to struggle with leadership issues and needs a change. Teachers are young and don't have their program's down. School has programs like Accelerated Reader, but don't seem to really know how to use it. School priority is on students

We took him out of the school and he did a 180 in his new school. There is pressure at the school to raise scores, so a lot of homework is given out and parents are expected to make up for deficiencies. Don't expect help from school unless you complain and even then good luck. Read less

Fallon School is pretty good. The teachers are quite intense, academically my child is getting challenged. They offer advanced honors classes in middle school, plenty of parental involvement, great teachers. All in all, a good school ! My child is very busy with homework and projects :)

I am surprised to read the reviews.... I t is my son's 2nd year here at Fallon, and he really enjoys it. His reading level is sky high(3rd grade level while being in 1st grade), all this is because of his wonderful teacher...She is young, but kind and patient and really cares about her class success

Maybe the only problem I see at my level of parent of 1st grader is the nutrition program, there is an evident problem in the cafeteria that really need to be adjusted ( amount of food prepared: a lot of children don't get choice and eat what's left!!! also I don't think the menu has great variety over weeks and is not that 'healthy'...pizza twice a week is not OK with me!!!!

I think Fallon is suffering from being a newer school. Lots of good teachers dont want to transfer here because of the principal. Some staff is young and do not seem as experienced. The general attitude of the teachers are rude. Academics could be better in middle school, teachers don't want too much
