Farnsworth Elementary School

Let kids get bullied, let kids say racial slurs, don’t do anything about any of these things. If i were going to send my kid to any cps, this would be my last opiton.

great school! I have been here twice for preschool and once last year for an event, this school has definitely gotten better and it's pretty underrated in my opinion.

My child has been hit by other students and no one notified me despite them coming home with marks and welts. The staff also tried to blame my child for over reacting or lying, despite having physical proof. Also getting them into to speech program has taken since October, and they're still not in as of April. The teacher is curt and cold to the kids at pick-up, just literally shoving them off to parents. Another classmate has bruises on their flank allegedly from a teacher trying to get them to sit. Teacher withheld reward for having a hole in my childs shoe. This is not my child's fault and should not be missing out on the school experience because I couldn't afford new shoes right away. I cannot recommend this school to another parent. This teacher does not care about the well-being and safety of the students and neither does the school for letting this continue after seeing evidence and complaints from multiple parents. I feel incredibly guilty for keeping my child at this school. If it were not for the false illusion of getting them speech and it we would have left right away.

DO NOT send your child to this school. The school may look grand from the outside, but it is far from it. Looks are deceiving. This school does nothing about bullying. In fact, it is like they encouraged it. Our child was bullied at this school, and nothing was done about it. Our child even started having health issues because of the bullying. We reached out to the principal, vice principal and teachers countless times and nothing was done to resolve the bullying. We were once told that kids are kids. Another time that we no proof. Even though other children saw this happen there was no proof. What a joke. There were times our child was reprimanded for defending themself from the bully and nothing happened to the bully. We were also told to stop sending all the emails about the bullying issue. There needed to be written proof since a call and physical talk with the faculty is not traceable. An email is written proof of the issues, and the school tries ridiculously hard to hide it. The bullied victim family was made out to be the bad ones and the bully family was protected and left alone. We expect more from a private school where we pay high tuition. Especially when that school is a Christian school. There is nothing Christian about this school. If you fall into the specific "CLICK" of the school, you will be protected even if your child is a bully. Multiple families have removed their children from this school because of the same bully. That is a shame. No child should be bullied.This school does not even deserve one star. There needs to be a negative rating.
