Our family moved to Fallbrook last year and we were nervous because all of the public schools in Fallbrook were rated so poorly. Turns out, the ratings were wrong! I don't know how these ratings are configured but I was compelled to get on here and leave a review of my own because my children's experience at the Fallbrook public schools has been fabulous. My daughter started Fallbrook High as a freshman last year and didn't know a soul. The students were so inclusive and welcoming. She is a very strong student and has been challenged academically in the Honors and Dual Language Immersion programs. The teachers are top notch and the administration is engaged and communicative. There are more sports and clubs offered here than at any other school I have heard of and I feel like I am in an episode of Friday Night Lights when I go to the football games. The community here is the best and we couldn't be happier that our daughter will graduate from FHS!

This is the worst school I have ever attended. if you want your kids to be emotionally scarred than this is the school for you.

Maybe one star? Maybe. The school is old and definitely needs improvements but they don't have the money for it as they are constantly in a budget crisis. There is very little communication with management. I would not recommend working at this school or enrolling your child into this school.

Overall great so far! There are a lot of sports and academic programs to let the students grow in any number of directions.

Due to funding cuts they let go of the resource officer and the beginning of this year. Well.....in 2 months the school has been on lock down twice, nearly ALL day because kid brought guns on campus. 5 gallon buckets were brought into the classrooms for the kids to pee in and since they missed lunch they delivered donuts.....MULTIGRAIN donuts. What the hell is a multigrain donut? And really that's enough for starving, growing boys who missed lunch? It is difficult for my son to learn in class because the kids are out of control and disrespectful and the teacher fail to control them. There is a HUGE issue with gangs on this campus. Administration turns a blind eye. I'm looking into moving to Temecula ONLY because this school is SO bad.

It's sad what this school has turned into. Teachers seem to be there for a paycheck and nothing more.

Fallbrook high is what you are willing to put in to the school and classes. I had 3 kids attend Fbk High and 3 different experiences. If they choose to get involved and they can excel at Fallbrook. The teaches and staff at the upper level are great. The kids that participate in track, drama and other activities have been awesome. If you and your child choose to slack off, FBK will not stop you from failing. Here, it is up to the parent and the child to excel.

as a parent i notice my son was having difficulties trying to transition from a school like great oak high school. Fallbrook High School has urged him to hate school due to the lack of teaching organization, and too many "cholos" Both I and my Son are fet up with this school and we are looking for a transfer to GOHS (great oak high school.)
