Farragut High School is pretty okay. Super nice teachers, good classes, and lots of the students are very helpful. I don't have much to complain about, maybe other than the worst part being the bathrooms, but that's about it.

For the most part, Farragut provided a good experience and learning environment, but occasionally some of the faculty felt like they cared more for the higher grades than the students' well-being.
11/8/2024
I'd like to see some of the facilities upgraded. The teachers are mostly good with a few lacking kindness. I enjoy the amount of different classes offered.

Having taught at Farragut High for 25+ years, I have seen the ups and downs. The current administration, staff, and students are some of the best I have worked alongside.

This community is very corrupt. Make sure you get involved and informed. Go to all PTA meetings and school openhouses. You may have to attend school board meetings. Stay informed, educated and on top. If you fall behind or miss something3, it could cost your children.
4/25/2020
With the new administration, Farragut high school's culture and community has totally been revamped. The administration genuinely cares for each and every student and has worked so hard to provide equal opportunities to everyone. These are not things I could have said under the old administration.

do not let the numbers fool you or the honors or ap classes. there are good kids here from good families who get tutors for their kids. also, previous admin pushed ap and honors (even to failing kids) we were ignorant and those teachers were not better
