    As someone who attended here, basically a lifetime ago, I have to say that this is not a place you…read morewould want to send your kids to (assuming the principal I know still works here). I probably should've wrote this review a long time ago but this school's principal plays favorites and does not care for every child the same. Admittedly, I know I was a problem child during my time in this school and I have caused issues here and there, but the principal here just doesn't treat every child the same and basically gave me little to no respect as a kid. I really did want to try and be better, but her attitude and "under her breath" responses did not help me, whatsoever. She would give me side eyes and attitude with tone and she clearly had it for me and some of my classmates at the time I was here. For a school principal, she really lacks respect for the kids who attend this school, especially since their parents pay her salary. Students, on the other hand, it is a very mixed bag. For me, I just do not think the classroom environment a lot of the time felt welcoming at all. A good portion of my time here, I did not feel welcome nor did I ever feel like I belonged, no matter how hard I tried, especially if your child is a very hyper individual. The school, itself, is just fine and during my time here, the only real positive I have for the school are the teachers. The teachers were basically the main highlight and made me want to continue my education and a lot of their words and lessons still impact me to this day. I do think the staff of the school care deeply for the students, except for the principal. Parents, you are better off sending your child elsewhere if you don't want your child feeling like they don't belong somewhere. Honestly, I just wish my time and memories of this school was just a lot more pleasant.

    We've been part of this school community since 2016-2017, and it's heartbreaking to see how much…read morethings have declined over the years. Many of the great teachers, staff, and families who once made this place special are gone. Unfortunately, morale among both parents and teachers seems very low due to poor leadership. This year was the final straw -- my son, a 6th grader in middle school, was physically attacked, and the response from staff was minimal. There was no real accountability or support. We've made the difficult decision to withdraw and move to homeschooling. Parents, please be aware: if your child is being bullied, don't expect much help here. Sadly, it now feels like this school is becoming a safe haven for bullies instead of a safe place for students. Teacher pay is low, class sizes are overcrowded (some with more than 40 students!), and children with disabilities aren't getting the support they deserve. And now, with the departure of our amazing principal, Dr. Ann Matthews, things seem to be getting even worse. The only positive is that all three schools share one campus, which is convenient -- but that alone doesn't make up for the serious issues, especially when it comes to student safety and bullying. Hemos sido parte de esta comunidad escolar desde 2016-2017, y es desgarrador ver cuánto ha decaído con los años. Muchos de los excelentes maestros, personal y familias que antes hacían de esta escuela un lugar especial ya se han ido. Lamentablemente, tanto los padres como los maestros parecen muy desmotivados debido al mal liderazgo. Este año fue la gota que colmó el vaso: mi hijo, estudiante de sexto grado en la secundaria, fue agredido físicamente, y la respuesta del personal fue mínima. No hubo verdadera rendición de cuentas ni apoyo. Tomamos la difícil decisión de retirarlo y comenzar la educación en casa. Padres, tengan cuidado: si su hijo sufre acoso, no esperen mucha ayuda aquí. Tristemente, esta escuela parece haberse convertido en un refugio para los acosadores en lugar de un lugar seguro para los estudiantes. Los maestros ganan poco, las clases están saturadas (algunas con más de 40 alumnos), y los niños con discapacidades no reciben el apoyo que necesitan. Y ahora, con la salida de nuestra excelente directora, la Dra. Ann Matthews, las cosas parecen empeorar aún más. Lo único positivo es que las tres escuelas están en el mismo campus, lo cual es conveniente, pero eso no compensa los graves problemas, especialmente en cuanto a la seguridad y el acoso escolar.

    Best admin team I've ever met. I work here as a sub so I think I'm a valid reviewer idk.. I've…read moreworked in other schools and this school really feels like a family and a team, I feel very much like I am supported the same as other teachers and part of the same unit! As for curriculum and what not, the school is constantly evolving and having meetings aimed at supporting all students. It's very challenging and I like that the admin are so committed and active in changing for the better. I'm sure you wouldn't regret having your child attend O'Farrell and wouldn't regret working here in some capacity!
