The school offers a decent educational experience for a public school. Though they don't have much clubs, they do provide some programs/activities that are great for getting students motivated and geared for college. Overall, experience in Farb was great.

I can't say enough about this school. The staff Is incredible and attentive. I've had 5 kids attend this school, and they have all been treated like family. They have all felt supported and encouraged during their time at Farb.

This has been a good school for my child. Child was previously enrolled in a district school with a very good reputation. I feel that Farb was more supportive of my child’s differences. They have advanced courses, sports. The other students show a very caring attitude towards other students.

The teachers are creepy and they are extremely strict about the female dress code. They did nothing when a girl...
