Throughout my senior year at Farragut High School, readily prepared me for college. With all of the rigorous courses available, I was able to challenge myself. One change I wish to see is more student involvement off campus. I would say the academics at Farragut are very competitive and so are the athletics. Most teachers I have had have been very kind and supportive; willing to work with me whenever I needed it.

I absolutely adored my time spent at Farragut High School. Dr. Bartlett is one of a kind— and his love for his students truly shows in the way he facilitates the school.

I have had a great experience here. I have been in the Farragut system since Kindergarten, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I have been well-educated and prepared for each step that I have had to take. The teachers are for the most part passionate and involved in your education and genuinely want their students to succeed. I would recommend this school system to anyone in the area.

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.

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
