The school is located at 5187 Fallingbrook Dr., Postal Code L5V 1N7. It was constructed on June 1, 1996. The school includes nine portables.
The school has a house system to encourage students to have school spirit, make good choices, etc. The four houses are named after four falcons: Kestrel, Merlin, Peregrine, and Saker. At the end of the year, the house with the most points wins a trip to a certain place (usually the Playdium).
Fallingbrook Middle School's teachers created a speech contest called "Excellence in Eloquence" which also include other schools in the neighborhood.

“On the middle of that quiet floor
sits a fleet of small black ships,
square-rigged, sails furled, motionless,
their spars like burned matchsticks.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“And Guidobaldo, when he made
That grammar school of courtesies
Where wit and beauty learned their trade
Upon Urbino’s windy hill,
Had sent no runners to and fro
That he might learn the shepherds’ will.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
