Maree Garnett Farring Elementary School Reviews

 
I am not happy how the school is operating this school year 2008. I am upset how they do not notify parents when they move the child from one class to another. He was upset and speaking to school administrators didn't help. There is no communication between school and home.

My niece has been in a Pre-K Program at Farring. I have found the Pre K program to be strong, caring, and effective.

The teachers at this school are EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!!!!!! Mr. Zellers is the best teacher my child has ever had. The principal and vice principal need to go to another school. They are very unpleasent especially the assiatant principal. Parents are not made to feel welcome or needed. Poor parent/school relationship. I don't think this school has a pta/pto. That would be nice to see in the future.

Having children in this school through two diffrent administrations I must say bring back the Mr. Stroschein!! The new principal and vice principal need to go back to be educated in the art of communication. Never have parents felt so unwelcome as they do now. Parent group that fell apart much to the fault of the principal not keeping out of things and wanting it 'her way'. I will be glad when my children are out of here this year. I hope the next principal will be more welcoming to us parents.

I have 4 children in this school. The new principal is working very hard to make our school a better school. Some of the most excellent teachers are, Mrs Waller she is an excelent teacher like Erlich. Mr Posner and Ms Vu are very involved with after school help as well as in, Ms Lepley and Mrs Hitt and Mrs Frey I liked and feel they taught well. Mrs Coma works hard in the school and with students from what I see.

The Teaching staff is great, however, the principal this year is not up to par. We the school has no AP, and many programs have been taken away from the children. The parent volunteers are way down, and this will be the last year for some very good teachers. The current PTO is totally disfunctional, and has don very little this year, and getting infomation on time is out of the question. Technology is also falling short this year.

My son is a student at Maree Farring, this is his 3rd year, and all is well. The teachers & staff are excellent. A few faults of the school are, they have very few extracuricular activities and I dont feel as though they discipline children that act out in class. Take it from me, my son has been acting out this year and I feel as though the only punishment for his behavior is from me. I feel as though it should come from both ends. If the students know that their actions arent going to be tolerated at school then maybe they would see a change for the better in the students. Other then that, I have no complaints!

The teachers at Farring are GREAT! We have a new Principal this year so we shall see how things go this year. Farring needs to work on getting kids outside more and contorl in the lunch room. I hope the 2005- 2006 school year is great at Maree Farring this year! We need more parents involed this year! Mellissa Proud MOM of 2 children at School #203

I truly believe the first grade teacher Mr.Eurich has a heart for children. He does a wonderful job teaching. He helped my child tremendously and I appreciate him for that. However, I do think the school needs to have more supervison on the playground,(a lot of fights last year). I also think they need to come up with more for children who above agverage to do. I felt like if I would had never stepped in for my child he would have went un-noticed. He was a excellent student above average but they had nothing to offer him. There was absolutley no way for him to excel. I hope they are gonna do something different this year for those students. Overall the school was ok but the teachers I have met were great witht he children.

The school staff at PS203 is nice. There are some excellent teachers such as first grade teacher Mrs. Frey. I found a lot of rude children and lack of supervision on the playground and lunchroom. I did find supervision in the school hallways before and after classes.

First grade teacher Mr. Eurich is a very good teacher.
