Summary

Fallon Park Elementary, located at 502 19th St SE in Roanoke, VA, serves 591 students in grades PK–5 as part of Roanoke City Public Schools, in a community where 99.3% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Academically, Fallon Park is currently one of the lowest-performing elementary schools in Virginia, ranking 1,094 out of 1,111 schools statewide (2nd percentile) with a 0-star rating. Its SOL proficiency rates are consistently 15–40 points below state averages—for example, only 30.6% of 3rd graders were proficient in reading in 2025-26, compared to 67.6% statewide. The school has also declined dramatically over the past decade, falling from the 62nd percentile in 2015-16 to the 2nd percentile in 2025-26.

One of the clearest differentiators from other schools is chronic absenteeism, which reached 29.9% in 2024-25—nearly double the state rate and well above the district's 25.0%. Nearby Crystal Spring Elementary, just 2.87 miles away and with a similar poverty profile, has only 6.8% chronic absenteeism and ranks in the 93rd percentile statewide. Fallon Park also spends $15,267 per student, more than several high-performing Roanoke County schools like W.E. Cundiff ($9,682) and Herman L. Horn ($12,038), yet produces far lower results, suggesting that funding alone isn't solving the challenges. Even other low-performing city schools like Lincoln Terrace (20.1%) and Round Hill (22.1%) have lower chronic absenteeism than Fallon Park.

The school does have some bright spots: English Language Learner students ranked in the 71st–73rd percentile in recent years, indicating effective supports at times. Also, 5th grade reading and math scores have occasionally been closer to district averages than other subjects. Still, with roughly 3 in 10 students chronically absent, and no sustained turnaround in a decade, Fallon Park faces an uphill climb. The path forward likely requires aggressive attendance interventions, early literacy and math support in grades 3–4, and learning from higher-performing, similarly resourced schools in the region—such as Highland Park Elementary, which ranks in the 57th percentile while serving a similar demographic.
