It's a great school, not a huge school but most of the teachers care a lot about their students. The are isn't very diverse at all. I wish they would spend more money on the music department because it is really underrepresented at Fallston.

Because of the surrounding area, the diversity was low, but that made it easier to make close friends with those like you. I'd like to see it become a more open environment for everyone to make friends and get along together.

I am currently working on my senior year here at Fallston High School and I have nothing but positive things to say. I am involved in sports here and it has always been a pleasure being part of them. The teachers and faculty want to come to their job everyday and help their students. Safety is a big thing nowadays and I have to say not once did I not feel safe. If you are on the fence on deciding to go to Fallston or not, you will not be disappointed if you attend.

Almost no windows so students just sit in school with not natural light. And talking about windows, only 3 open. Teachers talk bad about the school during class change.

I loved Fallston and I would gladly permit my children to attend!I graduated way back in 2003, went on to graduate from the US Air Force Academy, and now attend Harvard for my Masters. So, academically, I did well for the rest of my life.

Due to the lack of diversity in the school, the student body in general is not accepting of African American and other minorities. The school has a very hard time dealing with the undercurrent of racism that exists. Minority students are picked on regularly and there are no systems for them to make...
