This school is not a normal run of the mill school. Yes, they have some problems, but Dante Brown and the other leaders at that school have done an excellent job. They have taken the children that no one else wanted and turned them into fine trustworkthy young people. I am a parent of a Fall Creek student

However, I have been a member of the Parent Advisory Board and I have participated in many activities at the school, volunteered many hours, so has my husband.

I agree that the K-1 classes are great, and Mrs. Blewett is wonderful. There always seemed to be lack of organization. I was appalled at the lack of teacher involvement.

... Read more My two sons, who are supposed to be in separate grades, were in the same exact classes and were refused access to working on computers (the only method of 'so called learning' here), because the other children were so loud, violent, and disobedient. The children were not properly supervised and allowed to do as they 'please', including hitting other children. I have never seen such disorganization and such a lack of learning in a school. No child deserves this kind of 'school'. Read less
