Farrell Elementary School

They didn’t even have sports the principal had to get more teachers because they couldn’t handle the kids, A teacher would hit on a lot of kids and be cussing them out and I don’t like that so i took my child out of that school and i might sue. and the principals always believed the worst kids over the good kids.

This was the worst experience I’ve ever encountered with a school I have to take my child to everyday. No parent wants to feel like it’s a waste of time. My son is deaf in one ear and wasn’t getting the proper care, attention or education that he NEEDED being at Marshall. Not to mention, secretary staff ARE RUDE for no reason.We would ask for homework to be sent home, update us on how he’s doing in class, let us know exactly what he needs to work on and most of the time neither one of his teachers would respond to messages…literally would only send me a message if he got in trouble and they wanted me to talk to him. IEP, or ARD is what they call it here, teachers were fantastic. They updated me…kept me in the loop and made sure my son was getting what he could the time he was there.I had a rebuttal for one thing the main teachers said about my child that I knew wasn’t true during an IEP meeting and everything was downhill from there.I will never recommend this school to anyone especially if they need extra help.

This school is OK if you are a parent of African American children or any other child of a different race besides Hispanic your experience will be ok or less than they are snarky favor Hispanic students as well I had been outside since 3:04 front of the line for my kiddo so why is EVERYONE else’s kid coming out before mine yet they let parents cut in front of us as well

Year 2025. Please take your child anywhere but West Elementary. The teachers engage in unfair grading practices and favoritism. For instance, they'll give your children grades on diagnostic tests . There is no uniform grading policy or best practices implemented. No accountability whatsoever. Teachers have high failure rates. There is no district initiative to solve this issue when it's lazy teachers submitting only 3-5 grades in the gradebook per term. God bless you if your child has any type of special needs because they will not be accommodated. The administration is lame at best and engages in willful indifference of students failing and bullying. They do nothing to curb and target thug-like behavior occurring that disrupts classes. The teachers won't communicate with you. When parents complain about issues mean spirited teachers which is very common; the administration will gaslight you and deny, deny, deny. There are nearby inner city schools with high populations of poverty and English Language Learners who are scoring higher than the kids at West Elementary due to the poor teaching practices. There are only two in class parties a year for the elementary kids. Most of the staff acts like they hate children. They tend to hire people with the same mentality yearly. Arlington ISD is going to the dogs. the board members do absolutely nothing but take pictures. Avoid Arlington ISD and particularly West like Covid 19. Our tax dollars are being wasted.

Horrible place that employs hateful people like Lucy Martinez
