North Farmington High School

My son is in 10th grade, and he has done exceptionally well at NFHS. He attended a private middle school, so I had high expectations for his high school education as well. I'm very impressed with the school and the staff. My son has also held an overall 3.6 GPA since he entered NFHS. The staff has always been understanding, friendly, and hands on with the way that they teach! I give NFHS an A+

I currently attend North Farmington High School, and I am beyond thankful for all the experiences I have gone through thanks to my school. Mr. Jones truly cares about the students and loves our school. There are many amazing teachers who have offered to spend one-on-one time with students to help them with their work. Teachers also develop many close bonds with students, creating long lasting bonds. I constantly see old students visiting North Farmington, recalling all of the good times they've had here and how much they miss it. Though a lot of the work may be troubling and difficult, teachers offer to use their personal time to try their best to improve your understanding. I'm very fortunate for all of the opportunities I've been given here at North Farmington, and I'm going to miss Mr. Jones, North Farmington, the teachers, and my peers.

The Cobbs, teachers at the school, put on a remarkable musical with community members every Summer. Over 150 people are involved with the show and it is a true community project.

I went to North and at first it wasn't that great but then we got Mr. Jones as our principal and things really turned around. It's a great school and if you live in the area of NFHS then you obviously can handle yourself with the socioeconomic status some of the students portray.

My daughter attended NFHS. She is African American and attends U of M (3.6 GPA). This is an excellent school and the teachers truly care. I did have one issue with one teacher where I did not agree with her assessment of my daughter when she first arrived. She had given her a 'C' on her first progress report, but it was not because my daughter was doing 'C' work. She missed an assignment because she was ill and was not given the opportunity to make up the assignment. The teacher indicated the process for makeup assignments that was not mentioned in her syllabus, nor communicated to my daughter. She did give her the opportunity to make up the assignment- she received an A in the class. I did not think this was racial, I thought as I always have, a parent should be highly involved in child's education.

I graduated from North in 2006 and I have to say that I was lucky to go there. The staff truly cares about every student. The teachers respect the students and make learning interesting; I never had one bad teacher. The teachers are truly wonderful and are one of the best part of the school, but the best part is the Principle Mr. Jones, he is the quintessential amazing principle you see one TV and in movies but in real life and all the time.

I rate the North Farmington HIgh School a 4 star. My son attends and he enjoys being there with the students and teachers. The parents are involved as well as the staff and everyone truly have a concern and interest for every student. The teachers work hard and diligently by helping and encouraging the students to strive for their best which is not the same of each student.

I must say that North Farmington has really changed my life. I never realized how much of an impact it had on me until i graduated and went to college. While attending NFHS I was not the child that had a 4.0, my GPA almost always stayed above a 3.0 but I really struggled for it. However, when I got to college I found that my knowledge was greater than my peers and I actually became a student tutor. I truly think that the classes at NFHS challenged me more than any of my college courses and it was great. Being an afro-american female I must say that I never felt discriminated against nor did I feel out of place at NFHS despite transferring into this district in middle school. 3 years after graduating my former teachers even those that have retired still keep in contact with me, now that's dedication!
