This is our first year at Farmington and we are blown away. From the events that take place every week to the special events like Grandparents Day and the welcoming of new families. We bought our house just to be in the Farmington School District and couldn't be happier! The daily curriculum is fantastic!

We moved to Germantown for the schools, and had one daughter (freshman) go to Houston High and the other (senior) the Germantown Online Academy. Two vastly different experiences. Our senior in online program - fabulous. Houston High was a terrible experience for our 15 year old who made great grades until attending Houston. First of all, she was put in classes that were not appropriate because so many were full. She was in a Stem honors class with juniors, with a teacher who had two classes at the same time and spent her time yelling or telling the students not making good grades what a waste of her time they were. Science teacher who played videos instead of teaching. She was put in a study hall instead of a social studies class and I was told that could not be changed. Chosen electives were not available (full) so she had to go into said STEM class mentioned above. Lots of cliques (which I realize at that age is normal) Hard for a newcomer to integrate . When initially reaching out to principal, both he AND the 9th grade principal called me and said they would help. Promised to introduce her to groups, reach out to said teachers, look at schedule. I followed up a few days later when I received no call or email as promised. No response. FIVE emails to 9th grade principal over a period of 2 weeks or so. A voicemail to her office. Not one response. From anyone. We started to consider what else to do - 9th grade is a critical year and we needed to get her into appropriate classes so we once again reached out for help to guidance. She couldn't really help because nowhere else to put her 3 mos into the year - except another study hall, which obviously wasn't an option. I emailed 9th grade principal one last time -no response again. None of these emails were rude or demanding - simply asking for help. Following up on the resources she said she would provide. The only person who helped through all of this was the nurse - of all people (who was AMAZING and acted in a counselor type role when she realized the difficulties we were having) and her math teacher who was also outstanding and fully understood the decision we made when we pulled her for home school. I emailed the principals again the day before and told them the decision was made due to lack of response. No reply. She is now attending home school tutorials with qualified teachers, actually learning, and thriving again. Thank goodness for the awesome homeschool community.

Back again,just had the worst bullying experience of my life. But i just wanted to say i am leaving to go to a private school
