I have had many good and bad teachers at the school, some of which can't teach. I don't understand any of the material in some of my classes. But the teachers are nice. The sports are mediocre, the football team isn't that good, this is the third year in a row the football team is getting a new head coach.

Falcon high school gets a bad rep. It truly is a good school full of good people. Finding teachers who are committed to the education there has clearly been hard for the administration, but those that are there are fully committed and passionate about what they do. Say what you will, but to me Falcon will always mean a lot. I'm thankful for all the staff who have worked to make it as it is.

Falcon is an interesting place, it had its ups and downs and it was generally just high school. Pretty flexible with grades and had some nice teachers.

But it is high scho...

I have two kids that go to Falcon High and I’m so happy that they go here because we use to live in Littleton Colorado and my oldest went to Dakota Ridge High School and that High school didn’t care if they failed a test or cared if they flunked a homework project. They were over ran by kids at that...

Dont send your student here. They were not inclusive and my son did not thrive here. Nobody cared. Only if your student started elementary here, will they be accepted and helped.
