J M Farrell Elementary School, Grand Prairie TX

My mother hated the school, because they never helped me with my dyslexia and wanted to juat hokd me back a year.

One time i was scratching my hair a lot so I went to the nurse to get my hair checked and she found nothing but when I got home my Mom found lice in my hair so next day we went to tell the nurse to do a lice check around the whole 5 grade and she never did also the teachers never help me with what I needed and I never had friends all the kids were rude and thought I was wierd because I lived in a apartment and the teacher would never do anything about it so if you’re looking for a elementary school go Goodman its way better you would have way more opportunity’s and friends who would not judge you and kind teachers

A few words to describe this place A waste of time, no type of manner, but there was a few teachers who were good mrs Gage, Tilman, Wymore, Hills, Stephens, Tongier And the early 2000s principal

The teachers in general were just teaching us not handling problems. It was usually the students I didn't like, there are actually a few of them. My friends and I would get harassed weekly and I was once even assaulted. I reported it to my teacher, but they did nothing.

The students would often talk behind other students' and teachers' backs without their knowledge. They would also speak profanities, and sometimes even racial slurs would be thrown around as well. It would annoy me every time they utter these words to try and fit in or act “cool”.

I would sometimes watch fights, terrified of what would happen if that were me. I’d also fear the thought of waking up every morning having to go to a school of jerks and gossipers, which I will have to admit, is something I’ve experienced. Even so, it’s not what school is supposed to be and should not be tolerated by anyone.

The education was astounding, like I said before, the teachers were just teaching us, nothing more, nothing else. I did score high many times on tests and assessments and it was thanks to the education and teachers.

The school was a great place for education, but not for socialization seeing that I spent 5 years of my life there, it has caused me to become quite an introvert. In conclusion, I do certainly recommend this school, but to a certain extent.

I love Farrell and now I am going to be in 5 grd
It will be my 7th year going to Farrell

My years at Farrell were amazing from kinder to 6th grade. I was very sad to leave to go to junior high

I hate this school. KG-3rd grade was good but this school, no.the lunch is terrible and we have to where uniform.and other bad reasons you shouldn't go here

Totally agree with everything Nelly Eades said if you want a good school for your children.
DO NOT send them here!
Bad school, Bad principle, Bad teachers
My children where bullied all the time and where left to defend themselves teachers don't care one of my boys has low self esteem do to one teacher he considers himself dumb because that is what she told him

I'm in first grade and my teacher is Mrs. Greer she is the best but it's my last day I'm crying

My brother &I attended JM Farrell Elementary 2003-2010 for me & my brother attended from 2005-2013. I was blessed to have some amazing teacher, my brother has always been a hyper active kid and his teachers weren't so comprehensive of it and just saw him as a bad kid. Overall, I had great
Relations with the faculty and staff. Never was a big fan of the uniform though.
