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.

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.

Falls Lake Academy is a school intended to prepare you not only for college, but also for independence after high school. This is exactly what they do, with caring teachers and well-throughout courses, they support you through and through.

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.

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.
