GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I thought that Falcon Ridge was a pretty good school. The content was good, but some parts of the education is overlooked. For instance, there should be more focus on the arts, such as band.

About 75-80% of the teachers are great and truly care about the students. However, the administration is a complete disaster with very little care given to students. They refer to themselves as babysitters and assume every child is there to give trouble. If there was a new front office/administrator...

The teachers are kind and care for the students. Students are given opportunities to be challenged as appropriate.
