O'Farrell Charter School

"my daughter goes to o farrell elementary and she loves going to school there. she has been there since kindergarten and is in 2nd grade now. she loves her teachers and I love how the teachers love and care for their students. I love how they have no tolerance for bullies and they do discipline the bully for what they did. this school is a safe school I feel safe send my daughter here and I drive from east county to bring her here. and i love how they work with the parents on their kids future"

"I hate this school. The uniform rule sucks like u have to have a certain belt. you can't wear shoes or socks that are different colors other than white or black. You get in trouble for wearing nike, Jordan,Adidas etc. headbands. You have to only wear ofarrell jackets it doesnt matter if rhe jacket is grey white or black it would still be a uniform violation. You can't wear jeggings for free dress. We barley have free dress because of the bad kids. One history teacher in 7th grade is really rude and one language arts teacher he kicked me out over a water bottle. They do teach good I guess but the discipline rules suck. People get in fights almost every week and their is always drama. The lunch and breakfast is disgusting so yea I only like a few teachers and my friends at this school."

"DO NOT CHOOSE THIS SCHOOL!!!!!!! This is the worst school I have ever dealt with. Too many students not enough staff. The staff in place dont even know what is going on half the time. At all cost avoid this school. No one returns your call in a timely manner, supreme neglect for students who need assistance. The after school program is a nitemare - my child had walked away and no one noticed. But called the next day to say my child was out of uniform ( missing belt). They have a staff with little to no experience- no one knows where or who is over what department. And then they all point the blame elsewhere. My child and my future children will never return to this school. Save your child the agony of going to this school- and send your child where their needs will be met. Not just a number. Made a complaint with the Board of Education for Charter schools and filed a police report against the school."

"I don't like how ridiculous they are with the uniforms but I love the teachers that my kids have..Mrs. Dinanno awesome she goes the extra mile to help my daughter.. she also helps us the parents ...thank you to all the teachers who have helped my girls."

"I love this school ! the staff is great ! I so love the constant communication via email. My daughter has had nothing but wonderful feedback for me ,her teachers have been very supportive and helping her with any concerns she has had ."
