Location/Demographics

The Falls School is located in an area of the town of North Attleborough called Attleboro Falls.  This causes a lot of confusion for many people who think we are part of the City of Attleboro.   The building was built in 1949, which means we are now celebrating our 59th birthday.

The school currently houses grades kindergarten through five: two sessions of kindergarten, two first grades, two second grades, two third grades, two fourth grades, two fifth grades, and two special education classes for grades K-5.  There are 280 students here, and we are considered a neighborhood school.  Although we do have some students who ride the bus, most of our students live within a mile and a half of the school.  

We have a full size PC computer lab, as well as computer clusters consisting of four Internet accessible PC's in each classroom. We also have a library media center. Since our building is small, we have a cafetorium which is used for gym, assemblies, and lunch.

Mission Statement

Our goal is to teach each child to think, to learn, to strive, to care.


Vision

Students will be respected as individuals and will be provided with opportunities to develop their strengths, interests, and abilities.  They will be held to the highest level of academic performance their individual capabilities allow.  Students will be instilled with a desire to become lifelong learners.

Faculty and staff will be recognized and respected for their individual expertise and their ability to generate a love of learning in themselves and their students.  They will be provided with the necessary supports to optimize their professional development in the pursuit of excellence in their given disciplines.
