GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

I came to Farrell when I was in 3rd grade. Before attending to Farrell, I had been to two different schools, where I didn't really feel comfortable. Coming to Farrell, I felt like this was it. I've been at Farrell for six years and I've graduated. There at Farrell, there are some pretty great memories and some not so great. The best of all is Spirit Day. Every year in June, in the humid, nice weather there is a day where everyone is laughing and playing. We have water fights, delicious, freezing ice cream to cool us off, and everyone is just having fun in the sun. It's a nice idea for the school to reward us after our hard work and year. Farrell gave me direction on who I want to be when I grow up and I am thankful.
