Governor Wallace Rider Farrington High School

Farrington is a great school!! its simply depends on your child and how much they actually want to be in school. You learn what's required of you but you also learn other things. Things that you can't learn in a classroom. You learn how to socialize with different people from diverse backgrounds. Our school is all about diversity. You learn about having school spirit and taking pride in where you come from. You also learn how to push yourself to meet your own personal limit or goal in life. Sure, our school may have it's ups and downs and minor set backs when it comes to law and justice but you learn a lot. I would recommend my school to anyone who is looking for something different!!

Parents, I don't suggest this school if you are willing to transfer your child. It's motto is ' The leaders at this school are average at best, especially when it comes to the schools funds. The teachers are not as great either, forcing the school to go under restructuring. The officials seem to cut a little slack towards the 'bad students at the schoo . On the bright ide, the students have a lot of pride and they provide exta-curricular activities to make the school a little less 'boring'

There is no other school that I know of that loves each other like a family as like Farrington high school. The students there are restless but eager and appreciative. Teachers are very committed to school-wide activities. The community support is also very high. Crime has also been at an all-time low. Great leadership and great kids.

'Enter to learn: go forth to serve' is Farrington's motto. I believe that this school prepared students for college or the work place. During 2000, they gave out a total of 100 scholarships to students who applied for them. One of my friends received seven scholarships that year. Farrington has a bad reputation of being an unsafe and dangerous school, but I disagree. Any school can be dangerous and unsafe for students, but they offer the best programs and clubs. For example, they have the Health Academy, LEO Club, and Child Service Program.
