Fallon Park Elementary School

Some of the teachers and staff are amazing and long time served. This is an affluent neighborhood school with structured and organized standards, good resources, nice building and playground, security and good support staff. Great PTA participation and parent communication. Just a few questionable teachers but overall an excellent elementary. Exceptional teachers include Houtz (K), Whitehead (5th), Richards (Librarian). Great chess club and family events.

This is an excellent school. We moved our child back to this school after trying another city school. The teachers, staff, secretary and principal are all amazing educators.

Getting a phone call saying your daughter's absence from school is unexcused after informing the teacher she's sick doesn't sit well with me. It's negligence on the school's part in one manner or another. It's offensive getting a call from school that makes you feel like they're saying "hey you're basically a bad parent". If it's a policy it needs changed. The bus has been more than an hour late on multiple occasions (almost biweekly). Not a very well ran school in my opinion.

I think for the 2015 school year, Hurt Park has been a great school, My daughter use to not want to go to school do to the bullying she went through with other Roanoke City Schools, Hurt Park Changed that for my daughter, she loves to go to school so I want to thank the Hurt Park principal, Teachers and staff.

My son went to this school many years ago. We never had any issues that were not positive. We still live in the area, and the children who attend this school are well behaved. I love the section of Vinton this school serves.

My son goes to this school. It is a Title 1 school and he has friends from a lot of different backgrounds and uprbringings. He loves all of his teachers and they do a good job of challenging him with new stuff when he needs extra. They do a great job of individualizing for the students and making sure everyone is happy. The principal is amazing and is always outside in the mornings greeting the kids. The staff is always smiling and the kids are always smiling when they are walking in. The culture is really positive. A lot of people come out to all of the PTA and Title One events. It's a small town and the school really is a huge social spot for the town and the staff embraces that. We could not be more pleased with the school experience.
