Fallsington El School

I couldn't be more pleased with this school. The Principal, administration, and teachers have been fantastic to work with and very welcoming to my daughter and our family who are new to the district.

I have to say that I too was apprehensive about the redistricting. We were redistricted to Fallsington Elementary and we love the school! The principal is great and the staff is so knowledgeable and kind. We are like a big family and we love it there. I would be proud to recommend it to anyone looking to move into the neighborhood. We are proud to say that Fallsington is our school.

Fallsington is a good school with Great teachers and a wonderful principals. The reason Fallsingtons ratings fall well below the other elementary schools is due to kids who go there that live in areas where the parents tend tk move often. The other schools have way less of those type of neighborhoods that people come and go often. That hopefully will change with the redistricting and making more of the schools have those type of families. It is not the school or the teachers fault. It is hard when children come and go in the middle of the school year for them to be a better testing school then others who have had the same kids since kindergarten. Hard to compare the schools fairly knowing the above. My daughter has been at the school since 1st grade and ALL the teachers and esp. The principal are great.

I am concerned about the legality of the redistricting that was done within this school about 4 years ago when indeed, more economically - challenged and consequently more children of color from a large apartment complex that had previously been included in another school were "red lined" INTO this school and OUT of a higher-achieving school. Furthermore, it is sad that while Pennsbury School District chose to do this, the staff demographic does not reflect the group of children it serves, and thus staff members are less likely to understand or empathize with the needs of the children and their families, which results in lower expectations and misunderstandings. Children who may need counseling or community supports are more likely to be labeled as "bad" and/or ignored. More community outreach needs to be done to show love, care and concern about the education of these children. I am disappointed that Pennsbury would succumb to a NIMBY attitude from other parents or educators who may have put pressure on them to REDRAW the lines, and thus REINFORCE beliefs about lower SES children's futures. It is ironic that the school sits right beside the Pennsbury administrative offices.
