My kids have been at this school for many years. I also was concerned about the quality of school based on the reviews. I can say, with full confidence, that my kids are getting a quality education by a staff that truly cares for them. The staff is accessible and responds to any concerns immediatly. I love the diversity at this school. We couldn't be happier.

I had my doubts about this school after reading the reviews. She is in her 3rd year at Farragut and she absolutely loves it and so do we.

When daughter started kindergarten here last year I was nervous because of the reviews. However, I was pleasantly surprised that her teacher and the staff was great. I felt she was getting the same education that my older children did from their elementary school they attended before we moved, and that school had a very high rating. I am very confident that Farragut school is on the right path to a becoming a great school.

I dropped my five year old son off at school on 1/17/17 and a teacher opened my car door to usher my child in the school. She told me he was in good hand's and proceeded to walk towards the school. As I got ready to pull off; I see my son walking the other direction down the street by himself. If I had pulled off and not taken that moment to get a soda out my trunk; my first born son would be gone. I immediately walked my son into the school holding his hand and asked to speak with the principle. Once I made her aware of the child endangerment that occirred she said okay and walked me to the door. Total disregard of my child's life and we'll being. I have contacted the school district and I am waiting for them to call me back. I am furious and paranoid when I send my son to school.
