Middle School is the first time students can take advantage of the opportunity to select their elective classes. Classes such as music, foreign languages, technology, and more are all options for Falling Creek students. Students also have the opportunity to consider honors courses.
There are various sports for students to get engaged with at this school. Boys and Girls Soccer, Boys and Girls Basketball, Cross Country, and Track and Field. There are forms for physical fitness and concussion information that must be filled out by a guardian for students to participate in a school sport.

i was bullied in this school and when my parents were to report it the school said they will get all the students who saw it and talk to the kid who bullied me .They never did . The teachers dont care about if a Hispanic gets hurt only when a black kid gets hurt .
