The teachers at Falcon Pass are wonderful! They are extremely dedicated and loving people! I wish that I could say the same for the current principal. She had very little teaching experience before becoming a principal. This principal does not know how to run a school! She also does not support her co-principals or her teaching staff unless they are her "friend.". Extremely disruptive students are allowed to stay in classrooms which prevents teachers from teaching and students from learning. She blames the teachers for not being able to "control" their class even when these teachers are master teachers with outstanding reputations with parents and other principals. It's a shame that children like this are allowed to constantly disrupt the learning process and nothing is done to prevent it! And to blame hard working, dedicated teachers is totally unacceptable! It's no wonder why so many wonderful teachers leave the teaching profession!
Great School! My kids love going to Falcon Pass and I would highly recommend it.
Very Good academically. There is help for students who need extra help. Clean and friendly environment.
Falcon Pass Elementary has provided my kids with quality education, friendly teachers and administrators and an overall positive experience. We started our children in private school but find that Falcon Pass does a better job of meeting our children's needs.
The faculty and staff of falcon pass has been extremely welcoming and supportive of our 1st grader who is new to the school. We have only positive things to say about their academic program and willingness to go the extra mile to make our child successful.
I rate this school average at best. The problem is a lack of leadership from the new principal, Monica Guiffre. She appears to be more concerned with being friends with her staff rather than holding them accountable for what goes on in their classrooms. The bigges weakness is in the Resource Classroom where children require extra help. The parents have high expections, but so far we've been disappointed by the lack of consistency from one teacher to the next.
My children thrived while attending Falcon Pass. The teachers were great, Principal Stevens was truely awesome as a leader, and the school functions really brought everyone together.
This school has gotten my boys motivated to learn. They love school. They are constantly challenged.
Falcon Pass is a terrific school! Students are challenged at their level whether they are above average or trying to catch up. The staff works hard and is friendly.
The scores are impressive but it ends there. Parent involvement has declined since Mrs. Taylor retired as well as teacher morale. The current principal, Stevens, does not have the pr/communicative skills to deal with this high level of parental and community expectations, nor the teaching experience to properly motivate the teachers and students.
