Read what parents are saying about Mary Farmar Elementary SchoolMary Farmar is a wonderful school. The atmosphere feels close knit and community oriented. My children have had overwhelmingly positive experiences.
Posted by a parent on 7/25/2023As a former student, i did not like this school at all. In 3rd-4th grade i was bullied constantly. I'd come home crying everyday. The principal (all 3 that i had to experience) NEVER did anything. Along with that, i moved classes in 3rd. The teacher i had before i moved classes was horrible. She had no sympathy for me, nor any other of my classmates. I remember vividly when she made me sit outside in the cold when i was crying because she didn't wanna hear it. in 1st-2nd though, i did have a good amount of friends (which eventually moved and i was then introduced to the newer fake friend group.). And lastly, in kindergarten. Kindergarten was horrible. I was constantly bullied by another child in my class, and as expected the teacher did nothing about it. My teacher at the time did not ever tell my mom anything, i came home crying daily and my mom was not told why i could have been crying. Horrible school, do not recommend
Posted by a community member on 1/16/2023We have had excellent teachers at this school. The families are lovely and it is a stellar community of support. The building is average (it is an old school) but there are upgrades coming soon.My children are having a wonderful experience here. (1st and 3rd grade)They really focus on kindness and it shows!
Posted by a parent on 4/6/2022My son attended MF for three years. We found that the quality of education is average. There are better schools across the bridge in Contra Costa County.
Posted by a community member on 9/9/2016Stuffing 25 kids in a classroom where they can not get their academic needs met is wrong, especially when the teacher is making a salary of $85-95/yr. for 180 days of work per year (look it up on Transparent California...also look up the principal's salary, over $110k while kids are stuffed into classrooms. District superintendent...$200k). To compensate for ineffective classroom instruction, teachers send home mountains of homework to pass the work onto parents. Is this really okay w/ parents, whose property taxes are funding this ridiculousness? Our funding should go first to smaller classes, where kids can actually learn.
