J M Farrell Elementary School 3410 Paladium Drive, Grand Prairie, TX 75052

"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."

"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"

"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."

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