As a kid who has been here for four years honestly a breath taking experience. Getting to join clubs and going around learning about what I love.
2/28/2025
Overall, I had a great high school experience at Farragut High School. I had lots of administration and staff that guided me through some of the most important years of my life, and I feel like I was given lots of opportunity to do great things.

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.

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.

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.
