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.

Overall, the experience that I had at Falls Lake Academy was great. The staff members are kind and helpful, the small student population works as a family, and the sports teams are well organized and coached. The problem I had with Falls Lake was the classes. Classes at Falls Lake are pretty easy to accomplish with an A and all tests and quizzes are retakeable. Other than that I loved my experience at FLA.

I went to Falls Lake 6th through freshman year and I hated it. I wasn't challenged academically, I had many issues with the students in regards to bullying where staff did little to nothing, there was a lot of drama that even the teachers would involve themselves in as if they were high school students. This was a very bad experience and I was much happier when I left.

Falls Lake Academy is a great school. They're a pretty small school, so that means that they have fewer students they have to tend to, meaning that the students that do go there have all of the resources and get all of the attention that they need. The only complaint that I have about my school is that they're still relatively new compared to other schools in the area meaning that we have fewer resources or options when it comes to classes you can take.

Best school I have ever put my kids in! I love the Jupiter Ed app they have to keep up with homework, class work, to communicate with teachers! The staff is always generous and friendly and always care about my child’s education and well being.My daughter had been attending since she was in 6th grad...

My son has been in this school 5th and now 6th grade. Granted this has been during COVID times. However, the standard of care for classes in all 100 counties of NC, including Granville County Public Schools, has been to have virtual classes Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday for all core classes...

Disappointed with Mr Whitt. He is quick to judgement without fully understanding the circumstances, facts, or child involved.
