We have three children and all have gone to FBE their entire elementary school experience, including the pandemic and the academic aftermath of that period. I have great faith in and thanks for FBE. I can’t say the same for all of the Christiansburg school system. I am glad my children have the oppo
Posted by a parent on 6/9/2022I have taught in many schools and FBE has the best school climate of any of them. The teachers work together and they like working at FBE. In fact, it was very difficult for me to get hired at FBE because there were very few openings each year.
Posted by a teacher on 5/13/2022This school is absolutely wonderful! The entire faculty and staff are so kind and caring. I have two kids with special needs and I cannot begin to tell you how dedicated and hard working the sped staff is! We love this school so much that we moved just so we could make sure our children went there.
Posted by a parent on 4/22/2022Before my children attended Falling Branch I home-schooled them. When we moved here I was hesitant to put them in public school, but decided to give it a try. I have not regretted it. I have had 3 children in Falling Branch and have experience with all grade levels. I have had the opportunity to get
Posted by a parent on 11/2/2018As a teacher from another state and school district I find Falling Branch to be very behind the game.

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy daughter attended kindergarten at CPS during the 2012-2013 academic year. While there, she did seem to enjoy it and made lots of new friends. This school has open classrooms. Meaning there are no walls. Classrooms are divided by storage cabinets. This was a concern for me but they actually make it work. This is a very large school with (I feel) large classroom sizes. My daughters kindergarten class was 21:1 with no teachers aid. Homework was few and far between. The classroom work my daughter would bring home had errors on it that were not corrected by the teacher. We have since changed schools. As soon as I walked into her new school I knew she was behind in reading and writing and she did play catch up the beginning of her 1st grade year. Which was frustrating for her. I did like that having lunch with your child in the cafeteria was encouraged but the front office could be much more friendlier and welcoming. They do have a spring carnival that is fun and gives parents an opportunity to meet. I think, average is a fair rating for this school.Parent Review11y ago - Pathway Christian Academy
