Honestly, I came from a different area of the USA and the schools there had it much less harder on kids. So this is at my perspective.This school, I have to say, tries too hard to be Entertaining. The the teachers are way too strict and expect too much, except CORE teachers, which are a bit better than them all. Science is the only one that seems to give help. Math is WAY too complicated, and if you ever had Ms. Bush, you would know what Im talking about. I have to say, the lunches are at least bearable and edible, unlike elementary. Kids are pretty nice, and help newer kids around. I do like how the school was set up, with different dorms and different classrooms. If you mover here from a different state/country, unlike some other schools, there are no hallways. Kids go outside to got to different classrooms, so I guess it makes classes easier to find. 3/5. Do not absolutely hate, but would not recommend.PS: If any of the administrators read this and find out who I am, please dont do anything. My opinion.

School is not always easy, but Fallon makes school not all about the learning. Even though the education system is great and teachers are helpful, theres much more to it. Lunch is fun and theres always some type of music/activities. Theres awesome rallies and cool PE choices. I personally have never seen anyone being bullied and theres no popular kids, and even if there is they dont bother anyone. Theres no peer pressure and even if kids get bad grades, no one judges. Great school

As I was reading half of these reviews, I couldn’t help myself, but just laugh. People say that Fallon hands out way too much homework that they can’t even handle it. If anything, the homework that the teachers gives is less than half of the homework other school gives out. It’s YOUR own responsibility to keep up with homework and keep up your grades. If you actaully do care about your grades, maybe you wouldn’t be complaining about homework. As for the food from the school, what do you expect from a middle school? We all know school food does not meet our expectations, but at least be grateful for what he have now. Stop complaining about greasy pizza while hundreds of kids are starving out there. This school is decent compared to others, maybe work on the counseling since I have heard that the counselors don’t help at all. But nonetheless, its pretty good I guess.

This is the best middle school ever! On my first day here as a sixth grader the pride team was very welcoming and made a bridge for all of the new sixth graders and was playing fun music. All of the teachers are very good and most students get good grades. The PE department is very good and gets you into shape quickly. GO MUSTANGS!!!

This is a school.And not your dreams. Every school or workplace will come with its average struggles. You will read reviews about the popular kids being the control center for what activities are carried out at this school. There will be eighth graders, and if you have been living under a boulder, the eighth graders are a ton more amiable this year. Each year, we get a more weaker and emotionally sensitive wave of sixth graders which will become the eighth graders that will ultimately ruin the following generation of humans. Im not kidding. Most of the 1-3 star reviews are from people who need to toughen up. I am amazed how they can even walk what with all that butt-hurt. However, I completely agree with the people who point out the over-crowing issue. The portables are a complete joke. Oh and yeah, the school is mostly good at what a SCHOOL needs to do, which is to educate the population. Or something like that.

This is a really good school. There are a bunch of reviews on here that make this school sound like a dungeon, but its actually really good place with a friendly, environment, and people. Yes, there are popular kids, but they dont bother anybody, contrary to popular stereotype. Most all teachers teach well. Im in leadership, and theres no rule that says you have to be popular to be in leadership, Im learning a lot and becoming less introverted. People who go to this school are really fortunate, and should take a look at it before they complain.(*.*)/

So I think the school is pretty good but the lunch they have are okay, but the pizzas crust are terrible and the fruit snacks are good and I like the Hot chicken wings but the only problem is that the frozen yogurt are kind of expensive. There are way too much work and homework and tests and those are bringing my grades down.

I am only leaving this review , because I thi k the school should know about my concerns.For one, some of the teachers gossip about other students and they may not always use names but we as students know who they are talking about . There is a lot of home work and every teacher thinks they give less thab another teacher . We are not complaining , we are speaking out minds as most humans do . We are over whelmed with not only our school life but our social life . Trying to do good at school and fitting in is hard , and no matter how many spirit rallies and little slogans our school makes , it will not help .We should also focus on better lunches , the only thing I can stand.id the pizza and even with that exception you can still see the grease slide around and the cheese melts to the paper tray it is on .The school needs a lot of improvements, thank you for reading this . I would write more but I would rather not because i am off of school and would rather not spend my time worrying about it . But its not like anyone does

The teachers and staff are very friendly and helpful. I had so much fun I didnt even realize the year pass by. I cant wait till seventh grade!

First off, it’s all about your teachers for your academic experience. Some teachers will assign lots of work, some won’t. Some are mean, some are nice. Although you will come across a nice teacher. Next, it’s hard to fit in. A lot of the kids are stuck-up and self-centered and still have the mental capacity of an elementary schooler. A lot of the kids snitch all the time, or act like a “tattle tail” There are also bullying problems. Last year, I got in trouble for doing the SLIGHTEST things. While others didn’t, for worse things. A lot of the kids have no respect for other people and if you don’t fit into other kids’ “mold”, you’re rejected or feared. In conclusion, it’s an OK school. It’s easy to get bullied, lots of work, and hard to fit in. The academics are OK, but the teachers assign a lot of homework at certain periods of time. The food needs some work, for example the grease leak from the pizza. Although, the campus & classrooms are nice.

Okay, Ive read all the reviews of this school, and can tell that half of them are just plain untrue. First off, the teachers are not mean and do not give out insane amounts of homework. The reality is that the mean teachers are teachers who punished the student for doing something inappropriate. The insane amount of homework is not really that much, and is even a bit less than the average amount of school homework.The campus is okay, but could use a little renovation behind the MPR. As I stated before, the teachers are okay. However, I will agree with the students on one thing: the food quality is TERRIBLE, especially the pizza, which is all you get if you happen to be in the back half of the lunch line.Most of my peers are respectful, but there are always those handful. I would say that except for the pizza, this school is quite nice.

Great campus. The teachers were amazing. I am proud to say that these teachers are a major reason to where Im going to college.

School is great! Most teachers are very helpful and nice, though some are very strict. Great experience for the past two years. (Im in 7th grade when typing this review) Also there are many fun activities and there are many students who are nice to new kids. :)

Im gonna drop a relatively fair review.Overall, I enjoyed my time at Fallon when I was there. The social environment is good, the teachers are really energetic about teaching, etc.Honestly I was really disappointed with the way Fallon handled their math placement because its rather lazy and not thorough. A placement exam should not be based out of 20-ish questions, it should be 50 minimum to properly gauge the student in their understanding. A lot of people fell victim to this poor placement, including me.That is basically my only gripe with the school as my experience at Fallon was good all things considered. Dropped 2 stars though cause like most people were still suffering the consequences of this bad math placement. :/

Fallon food is terrible, the pizza is very greasy, and yogurt has yellow stuff in it and the strawberries have fungus on it. One of my friends threw up and one of them caught a stomach flu. Everything else is good. Teachers are very nice.

Best School Ever.The teachers were very friendly and helpfulI always thought school was boring until I came to this school. Now I want my weekend to pass faster so I can go to school again 😂Cant wait till 8th grade

Fallon is a gr8 school. They should probably put the lockers back because now my backpacks really heavy. But the teachers are nice and the staff is pretty helpful.

Clean campus, big classrooms, etc. This school is mostly very good (and I would recommend), but some improvements could be made. First, the homework load. Several people, myself included, are staying up til 1-2 AM doing homework, most of which requires an unnecessary amount of art. The homework load is overbearing on 7th graders and needs to be cut down (a simple solution could be attained w/ homework surveys).Secondly, the math curriculum definitely needs improvement. The math is very random and convoluted. In 6th grade, there was a very weak curriculum, with no buildup to 2/3. Course 2/3 attempts to make up for this, but instead takes simple concepts and ends up making them extremely complicated. Also, another issue with math is that the teachers often do not teach (a general consensus from 2/3 classes) and instead make groups figure it out together, a model that sounds good when speaking but doesnt work out in practice. Because of this, over half of Algebra students are failing, yet no changes to 2/3 curriculum have been made.Some other more minor things are that the science curriculum feels a tad underdeveloped this year, though my teachers so far (Ms. Valencia, Mr. Luehrs) were great. We should take focus off of history and more on science, considering this is the Silicone Valley. I know others have complained about overpopulation, but that is out of Fallons hands.All in all, Id say this is a good school, with good spirit and athleticism. However, the curriculum+homework needs some reforming. =)EDIT: If you want to know how poor the math is, consider this: Near the end of the year, the average scores on tests for the classroom were in the 60-70% range. Additionally, we had to write out exponents in expanded form, meaning that we had to write c 34 times, g 64 times, etc.

Ok so i am in 7th grade and tbh it’s not bad at all, i mean some teachers could be rlly annoying and rude. if u don’t know something then they don’t really help and criticize you instead but it is really organized and has very fun days and everyone makes each other happy, there is not a lot of bullying. they give you support, and honestly the dances and rallies and basketball games are awesome and although mustangs aren’t perfect they deserve the best and i would recomend this school. thank you.🗿GO MUSTANGS

PLEASE READ THIS WHOLE THING --The only good thing about this school is PE. The PE program pushed me really far and Im way faster at running at such now. Im in seventh grade, and it is REALLY REALLY REALLY CROWDED. Did I mention this school is crowded? I remember at least one of my friends tripping at falling during passing period every day. Everyone shoves you, and when I was in sixth grade I was shorter than the eighth graders so I got TRAMPLED really often. The art course is horrible, I was drawing in my own art style, and the art teacher told me it was wrong. Math is honestly a blur for me and everyone. The teachers usually make no sense, and dont help you when you need it. Core depends entirely on which teacher you get. Science is okay, and if you get Mr. Luehrs its really fun! There are reviews talking about the food being good, but the only reason people are saying that is because all the food is really unhealthy. The pizza literally sits in a pool of oil. The only snacks are soda, chips, and cookies. It may taste good but its nowhere near nutritious. Also there are many stupid rules. For example, my friend got detention for accidentally putting her Chromebook in the wrong spot. My other friend got detention for forgetting her agenda at home. WE ARE HUMAN. WE MAKE MISTAKES. and giving people detention for it just lowers their self esteem. People I know are SUCICIDAL because of the stress these teachers add to their already crazy lives. Please make fallon a better school.

My brother went to this school, and he hated it. Too much homework, too many expectations, and defintely too many kid. Even the school principal said herself, we have too many kids at this school. And not only that, but the teachers incorrectly judge assessments. My brother got 20 out of 30 on a quiz, where he should have gotten 27 out of 30. This school, out of DUSD, sucks up the most cash, and most of the computers are cheap and inexpensive. The biggest problem is peer pressure and trying to fit in. Many kids are hearing the same message,Dont get pushed around by your so-called friends, but the thing is, the school has stuff like activities on the grass and student leadership, which are mostly lead by the popular kids. Peer pressure is just like Starbucks. Its everywhere.

I have this account just encase. The teachers are bad. Some dont teach, some are boring and some are strict. One teacher I had held a grudge against me. I got multiple detentions for harmless things. The class hated me because she used me as an excuse to quit fun activities. Some teachers are great and I support them like Mr. Zarcone. I didnt have him but he was great and everyone who I knew said he was awesome too. I support teachers like him. Also I am in 8th grade. The yard duties suck. One didnt let us do normal things like sit in the shade in a certain area while the vice principal let us. There is a clear line. There is the popular kids, who act like they are better than everyone else and it pisses me off. Appealing and complaining to the district to get into a better math class is absurd. Why cant people deal with the fact that they didnt get in and why do 6th graders want to get into geometry. There are some really cringey kids there too. In conclusion, I didnt have fun here and I dreaded it. WHY DID THEY REMOVE CURLY FRIES TOO???

Waddup my pimps,ive been here at fallon for 2 years and i can say without a doubt it s good but it has some faults. fo xample one day i was chillin wit da boyz and a yard duty walks up to us and triez to get all up in our biz. and i was like,boiiii whachu doin and my boi jonathan was like,mannn you better hop befo we gonna get serious luckily the yard duty knew what was coming and left us alone. goes to show as a lesson for all yall wimpy 6th graders if u ever see an asian male who is under 54, sock em right un the face. and if u see a guy named kool kid kavin, tell him wassup and say gimme sum sugar. hell know what it means, you know what im sayinnnnnn. btw another tip for incoming 6th graders who were in course 1, the advanced placement test is out of 27. honestly if you have a C and above as your average grade adn final grade for the tests then youll make it in, i passed with a 27/27 so i dont gotta worry about that. and remeber focus on school and dont screw up ur education and end up in a dead end job teaching kids

Okay some teachers are mean but most of my teachers are nice like mr.parsans my science teacher

Great school, always on the move :DKeeps you working (Literally in PE)

Awesome school...Im new this year and it isnt as hard to fit in as I thought

Teaches you mlg PE skills, management and independent work

Oh my God. Why would any body go to this school? This school is starting to get corrupted, as in the interminable math classes, the boring science classes, and so on. The lunch program is just terrible, because instead of having fun activities, they have stupid challenges on the grass. At the 7th/8th grade lunch, most table are taken by kids who sit by themselves, and wont allow any body else to sit with them. Its like Bro, I just want to talk to somebody, or at least make a friend. Hey, DUSD? Instead of building another elementary school, how about another middle school for a population of 52,000 people in this town?

THIS SKOOL IS BESTE BEKAZ IT HAZ VERY BIGGER HUGE FOOD. FOOD ESTA GOOD DEFINATLY RECOMEND

Best school ever. I am in 8th grade right now and I am loving the experience. For all you seventh graders, 8th grade will be gr8 because Mrs.Lightbody is a great math teacher and Mrs.Sharbach is amazing at teaching CORE. Dont really wanna leave this school and go to high school next year :(.

Great school. School district needs to work on overcrowding and plan better

Fallon is the BEST school in the world it is a great place for education and has a safe and friendly environment.

Great school! cant wait untill 7th grade.There isnt too much homework in 6th grade and the teachers are awesome! Theres alot of opportunities to make friends and the lunches have more choices and are really good compared to elementary school(at least for me).PE pushed me a little harder than i would have done so myself and i feel like im getting better at running for a longer time. Elective wheel is very fun and its awesome! This is the best school ever!!:)

THIS SCHOOL ABSOLUTELY ROCKS STAFF, PARENTS, AND STUDENTS ALL ARE RESPECTFUL!

This school dosent need teachers cuz u basically teach ur self :)

Waoh james wat a reaction... schools meh... luv PE tho :0

Fallon is a great school. I came in as a new kid and I felt very welcomed as i came. On my first day i already got a nickname as you might know above because The isnt a name its also my username on Instagram and Snapchat @thechakma and dont forget to follow Fallons Instagram @fmsmustangs, but anyways its very organized but very big. I got lost once but people are very welcoming and staff. But a tip for new kids, dont go anywhere without a map and dont get tall kids mad or that will be the end of it.

Some of the teachers are nice but some get mad at you for nothing. There are lots of bullys. The staff is poor because when you report someone they say they will talk will them but never do it. For science the best teacher is Yetter.Ya and the teacher have fav students and they give them better grade and if the fav student does something bad the teachers dont do eny think.

Gr8 m8 8/8 dont h8 apprici8 dont be l8 w8, do not sk8

This school is terrible. The teachers give insane amounts of homework, and the expectations are impossible to reach. The only redeemable quality is the food, and thats still not that good.

BEWARE, I WAS HELD TO GUNPOINT WHEN I MADE THE LAST REVEIW, EVERYTHING I SAID, I WAS TOLD TO SAY, I JUST ESCAPED THE PLACE WHERE THEYVE BEEN HOLDING ME, AND I THINK THEY WILL FIND ME, SO WE DONT HAVE MUCH TIME, JUST PLEASE RUN AS FAR AS YOU CAN (On the runs of course) goodish school
