Farr is giving opportunities to students that have been neglected in their home schools.

There is an excellent school despite what the student states i have been to this school on many occasion and i felt quite safe, unlike the local high school. The teachers are great the students are also good kids. All and all if you need a child who needs a small learning atmospher this is the place for she/he.

This school has its pros and cons. The pros are that there are good supportive people on your back. There is earned fun days every month and weekend trips every month. The cons are that the kids are very tough and chit chatty. The school is very loud and the teachers do not have enough strictness in the classroom. There are fights and I always look behind my back in the hallways. No matter what they say the school is not entirely safe. Overall this school is ok but im sure there is a better therapeautic school around this area.

About these ratings

The Community Rating is the school’s average rating from its community members (e.g., parents, students, and school staff). The highest possible rating is five stars; the lowest is one star.

We currently do not have any test score information for this school. Unlike public schools, private schools are not always required to report data about their schools or not required to take the same tests as public schools. Many private schools take different standardized tests; however, that information is often made available only to families of enrolled students. We strive to acquire additional private school data whenever available.
