Janet Polish described “Falcon Pride Online” as the new learning program that Austintown Schools began offering for the 2010-11 school year.
This is a public, tuition-free program serving all students in grades K thru 12. It plays it’s part in providing a high quality education to every student every day. It has been offered as one of the district goals to give Austintown students an additional opportunity to get the individual attention and tutoring on a daily or weekly basis.
Students still participate in Austintown Local Schools’ extracurricular activities such as athletics, clubs, band, choir, prom, etc. They receive a diploma upon graduation. The program received an EXCELLENT rating on the 2010 State Report Card.
They provide rigorous curriculum consisting of regular and advanced courses in English, Math, Science, and Social Studies as well as elective courses.
They ask for strong parental and family support which is important for the success of the students and the program.
