I agree with the previous comment about 7 being MUCH too low for this school. My child is going into his 4th year at Farmington Woods and with the exception of his kindergarten teacher, we have been thrilled with the level of expertise that the teachers have. We have been fortunate enough to now have been named the #1 magnet school in the nation and it is well deserved. The curriculum is top notch, the administrators are accessible (I particularly like "Wednesdays with Winston" which is the principal), and the overall "feel" of the school is wonderful. I love the extra after school programs they offer as well as the day to day academics. The students as well as the teachers are incredibly respectful of others and I have yet to hear about any incident with students that wasn't handled quickly and properly. It has been wonderful being part of FWES. The only problem I see is that it doesn't go up to 12th grade!

Farmingtonwoods IB/PYP Elementary School was recently named one of the 5 best magnet schools in the country. It was visited by a team of evaluators and may soon be named THE BEST MAGNET SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY. A score of "7" seems far below how this school should be rated. It is an outstanding school staffed by incredibly dedicated teachers and supported by a tremendous number of passionate volunteers.

This is my child's first year and we can already tell a difference with her school experience! The children say hello to each other in the halls and they are courteous and friendly to the adults. The teachers explain things that a student is having difficulty with, and seem to really care how they are doing. There are clubs and Spanish class and the whole school really feels like a family. Coming from another school, my daughter seems to be behind, but I have no doubt with the exceptional teacher she has, she will quickly be caught up. We absolutely love this school!

I've been very happy with Farmington Woods. I love the spanish program that they have and the IB units that the children do through the year. I feel this school makes a student "think outside the box" and does a great job!
