I agree with what this parent has stated. I am a parent with two kids in this school and my kids never had write ups until they got here. They have had issues on the bus also. I am upset at the fact that when you have problems and want to talk to the principal they always send you to the assistant.

I wanted to spend some time in the class with one of my kids because of a behavior issue so I could see what was going on with him and they wouldn't let me do that. I also asked for my child to be moved to a separate location in order to stay focused and learn better but that was an issue due to other kids being isolated. Read less

I have two children here and could not be happier. In defence of Mr. Teel and his 'rules', I am all for them. Every child is not the same nor their home life. There are rules put into place for a reason that your situation may not understand, but someone else needs them. You need to understand all walks

I for one admire the rules in place here, being a single parent who is in fear of another parent getting her children. The fundraiser, pictures and other donations could be stretched a little further apart, it is hard when you have multiple children. But then sometimes we have to say no. That is a lesson our children need to learn too. Read less

Falkland is a great school. My kids have received an excellent education despite the slant in racial diversity (meaning a lot of their students can't even speak english). The Principal and staff have gone out of their way to support education. The facilities are in great need of updating. However,

My son is in second grade and this is his second year at Falkland. And I wish it was his last! They only have a few quality teachers, my son did not get a good teacher this year, but last year he had an amazing teacher for first grade. I don't think it has a family environment feel. Whenever we take

But they do want our money for fundraisers,PTA,etc. As far as safety and discipline the administration at the school take it as a joke. I have had several problems with other children hitting my child on the bus. And every time I call I hear the same response. The asst. principal listens to the bus driver's story and someone gets written up. Seriously considering homeschooling bc of this school! Read less

Our school was one of the few schools who met 100% of its AYP goals. Our kids have always performed very well on end of grade testing due to the excellent instruction and support they got from school staff.

Fourth and fifth graders even have the opportunity to participate in strings and chorus. We packed out the auditorium for the winter program. I bet there were over 400 people in attendance. My husband and I have been very satisfied with the education our children have received at Falkland over the past 10 years. Read less

My child was enrolled in Febuary and withdrew in March. Parents need to know that their are other options and not all of them are expensive.
