Eleanor Murray Fallon School

i go to this school.. i love it here other parents who rate it bad!!

My daughter graduated from this school and my little one is going to this school soon. To me we never have had good leadership for this school. I don't understand why the school district cannot appoint someone who really determine to make this school the best of this area. Having a PHD degree or playing with the boys well do not mean they can be a good principal. This school needs a power leadership. Dublin school district, please pay attention to this school!

Fallon used to be a great school. This year its been a disaster. The administration is unhelpful and unpolished! There is no GATE curriculum in place for gifted students. Such a disappointment!

my son started middle school this year and is in his 3rd quarter. He is enjoying the way the teachers challenge him accademically. He loves the different extra curricular opportunities offered here as well. Amazingly talented teachers and enthusiastic parent support.

For the past four years we had a great experience at Fallon School, however everything changed when the new leadership was appointed at the beginning of this school year. The leadership is lacking basic skills! It is very disappointing and frustrating. As parents we want our children to succeed and is unfortunate when unskilled individuals are appointed in key positions.

this is the best school and i really understand why it is 9 stars. they have really good and pushing techers that do everything they can to help the student succed in life. my daughter is in middle school and actually loves being pushed and she is doing way better in fallon than in any other school! she comes home and starts on her homework. on the weekends she always complains why there is no schoo, thats how much she loves this school. the students are also very behaving and the parents are very loyal when pickinng up their children. i love how they have the 'safety patrol' it really helps students understand how important safety is. this school is phenominal .

I have a daughter in 3rd grade. We have been here since 1st grade and I can tell you that the teachers here are top-notch. Many of them are young, energetic and truly committed to the children's success. The new administration is great! They are very accessible and want to have open dialogue with the kids and parents. My daughter just loves school and looks forward to going everyday. When asked what she likes about school, her response is 'EVERYTHING'! As a parent, you can't get better than that.

My experience with the school has been mixed. There are good teachers and then there are not so good ones. They should really provide online grading for all schools. Some teachers do not post grades, some use teacher ease, some don't. In middle school, homework matters and for the students to see what is being done in class, online and check their grades, would be very useful. In terms of parent involvement, it seems teachers like to be left alone and not bothered too much. As long as your child is motivated and on top of things, everything is fine. Middle school resources for more academically inclined students, are not advertised or not accessible unless parents try to dig it with administration. Math and Science paths for middle school is not clear. Honors Math program or how to skip to take next year level Math classes are also not clear.

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 state that was less than great so he had to catch up. My only complaint is that they really push the middle schools kids hard in math here and I think it's a bit too much. 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.

I am a student who is leaving the eighth grade and i have found my 5 years at Fallon to be spectacular. i don't know what 'incompetence' in teacher the other reviewers are referring to but take it from someone on the inside, This schools number one goal is the well being and success of their students present and future
