Falcon School District in El Paso County is one of the state’s
fastest growing school districts. The district has grown nearly
50% over the past three years alone. As a result, the district
has 2400 students learning in trailers, 25% of its total student
enrollment. Students are attending class in 100 portable classrooms.
Some schools assign three students per locker. At Horizon
Middle School, 700 students shuffle through the cafeteria
over six lunch shifts, the first at 10:15 a.m. and the last
at 1:15 p.m. The district is currently at its bonding limit,
which means that, because of current bond debt, it is prohibited
from passing another bond measure for capital construction.
