“I attended Farnsley Middle school and I am now in high school. Farnsley does a good job with setting up extra-curricular activities, the teachers are nice, and some of the administrators are very helpful. But one major flaw in Farnsley is how they handle problems. The punishments they offer are confusing and not effective. I wasn't one to ever get in trouble, but when I did, no one, including myself, felt the punishment fit. Also, the way they do things at Farnsley is very disorganized. As an 8th grader, I was not prepared for high school at all, as far as class transitions and responsibility went. We stayed as a class and traveled to different teachers and the teachers walked us to lunch and related arts. We felt like kindergarders. We needed a little more freedom.” This review was posted by a student.

“I'm a girl in the 8th grade at Farnsley and I have went here at 6 grade, 7th, and now 8th. Farnsley is an OK school. Some of the teachers are very hard on you and some are sweet. They have fun and many extracurricular activities. Our principal can get on you about small thing, but he is nice(if your good). Overall is a very good school. If you having a problem with a student all you do is they the teachers and they will do anything to help. They have fun field trips and some of the work is fun too. The class rooms and hall ways are clean, pluses in the middle of the school year they come around and sell cookies to classrooms.” This review was posted by a student.

“My child attended Farnsley in grades 6 & 7 and will not be going in grade 8. I was a very involved parent but found it difficult to get teacher and admin response at the beginning of any issue my child had. I would find out about incidents after they had occurred repeatedly intead of after the first time. I asked for teacher involvement several times but was told they didn't have enough time to devote to keeping me informed. For a Magnet school, I expected alot more from the staff. I was very disappointed in the counselor involvement - I guess that role has changed significantly since I was in middle school.” This review was posted by a parent.
