Was a former student, teachers were nice and very good at teaching. And I liked it there, teachers were very supportive.

I wrote the previous comment, I ment Dr. Vinncent said the girls would be suspended and were not. All Dr.Vinncent carried about was launcing this program did not care about the kids! Also if you were an invalved parent your student would get better treatment, then a student whoes parent was not invalved, or if you were a student who came from money then you also got better treatment. The only thing I can say about this school is that office staff was nice. The principal horrible and teachers. I can not believe that Dr. Vinncent is still the principal at Farnsworth. If I see the school on a news report I cringe. There is bullying in the school there is favoratism, there are gangs, there is racism. I would never recommend this school!! I know of some teachers who left the school because of the pollitics at the school, and they were good teachers.

Our child has attended this school since second grade . That's 6 years now and we are not coming back for 8 th grade. There are a lot of problems with this school , moral is at a all time low , the students cuss,sware and have no respect. Gangs are moving in . It reminds me more of a correctional school than a school for learning . The test scores are really bad ,7th grade 34 per in math and 8 th is only 24 per. I WOULD NOT recommend this school

My husband and I both work in the district and I can say without hesitation that this is the only elementary school in the district that I would send them to. The teachers are great, the principals are very involved with the children. NASA astronauts come out a few times a year. The children have space simulators, and have a lot of fun while learning. The support staff is excellent as well. When incidents occur between the children they are dealt with seriously and swiftly, there is a no bullying / harassment policy and this creates a very safe atmosphere for the children to learn. Also, the staff is very open when it comes to communicating with the parents. I Love this school! After this school, the children attend the Upper Campus, which is also very well staffed and has a very similar atmosphere to the lower campus. I love this school!
