This is one of the best elementary schools in Philadelphia. Both of my children attended from grades K-8 and both received a quality education that enabled them to attend magnet schools. The school is well-organized and has a caring principal and staff. It is also a safe and friendly place for students. In regard to the parent who complained about school lunches - ALL schools serve the same lunches in Philly. Talk to the district about that (I agree they are disgusting). But as an educator myself, I can say without question that the children who attend Farrell are lucky to do so.

Wow. This school is probably the worst I've ever been to. If i could rate this school less that 'unsaticfactory' I would. Even the school lunches are disgusting. They come in plastic wrap. The school is poor and it should be burned to the ground!

I am a bit disappointed with this school overall. I feel there are many teachers who do their best and are committed but are not getting the support they need from the administration or parents. I agree with another reviewer that parental involvement is not there. Safety and discipline are real issues.
