Fallston High School

by this school being a predominantly Caucasian atmosphere it’s not very welcoming to other races of human beings. atleast it wasnt ten years ago! so i can only imagine how it is now with all thats going on in 2026! seclusion was overlooked even though they had good teachers that cared. I pray that it has changed for future growth in diversity

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.

My question is, "does any school have an effective approach to homework?" It's an american public school, people. Nearly all studies have proven kinesthetic learning to be the most effective method to learn something new. How can a student do that at home without effective parent involvement?

They do what they can with what they're provided.

I don't have vivid memories of Fallston High School except for the vice principals, who unfairly targeted individuals, and the principal who completely lacked a back-bone. The only satisfactory leadership I received (this doesn't include the teachers) was from the late Harford County Superintendent, Jacqueline Haas. When she walked into Fallston and made the principal and vice principals apologize to me for their petty and unprofessional behavior, I skipped the whole way home.

There was the normal "cliqueyness" like any high school but there was a VERY STRONG anti-bully climate within the students. To label myself, I was a prep and a jock. The only fight I ever got in was because one of my classmates was bullying some kid who couldn't fend for himself. I stepped in (like most students did) to stop the behavior, fought, got suspended, and moved on. The kid was no longer bullied.
My point is that this is a good area; a unique blend of the rich & entitled, farm kids, and housing development kids. There will be bullying (because teenagers are jerks) but there will also be fellow students who do not tolerate the belittlement of others. The school itself just doesn't have the manpower to have 'anti-bullying' guards every 5 feet.

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 faculty aware without a backlash. I urge the principle and other staff to set up some system so that these things can be reported easier. I also encourage anyone reading this to do a search for FHS and you will find examples of some racist incidents.

Both of my children received a very good education. I would say, however, that more homework should be given to promote independant study.

I am a former graduate of Fallston High School and I am so proud of it. It is a top school in the county, and I had all the resources I ever could have dreamed of. I had excellent teachers and always received help and guidance whenever I needed it. I was challenged but not overwhelmed, and Fallston gave me a backbone for college and the real world. All high schools are clique-ish, and it wasn't any more so than what I heard from my friends in other Bel Air area schools.

Outstanding school with great teachers who care about the students. High school can be cliquish, they all are. Get over it.

Fhs in an excellent school. as a current student of fhs i can say that the experience of this school is great. Fhs has a ton of classes ranging from special ed scalles to ap and they have a wide range of ap classes available. if a student needs help they just have to ask the teacher and the teacher will gladly do whatever it takes to help the student. this school also has a great guidence dept. this is an all around great school.

As a parent of two students who have been at the Fallston H.S. I feel that both of my children have received and are still receiving an excellent education from Fallston. My son is now in college and when asked if he felt that Fallston provided him a good foundation for college he gave it a resounding YES. My daughter is only a freshmen but I feel that she is finding high school challenging yet not overwhelming. I am very pleased with the decision to have my children attend Fallston H.S.
