Farley is a great school. I should know, I am a 5th grader here (2017). The teachers are amazing, even though some teachers are strict, they are just trying to teach and keep us safe. I love my teachers. Ms. Hill my robotics and green power teacher. Mrs. Johnson my math teacher. Mrs. Potter my science teacher. Mrs. Carnes my ELA and homeroom teacher. Tina Robinson my reading teacher. I am thankful that all my teachers are amazing.
