Folwell Community School,

3611 20th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN 55407, United States

"I went to Ramsey and we got transfer to folwell. I graduated from High School already and as what I remember this school was not that bad. I honestly perfer Ramsey than Folwell and I have a younger sister going to 2nd grade and she will be attending another school because we didn't like our experience with the younger kids teachers, but maybe in the future she will be attending for middle school because of the activities for students the school has."

"There are many reasons why this school is not the best option for you(r children). First of which is that the staff is ignorant in your requests in participating in certain activities. Also staff will not bother dealing with bullying and discrimination, specially teachers in 5th grade and higher. People have been physically and mentally abused by students and staff in this facility. Some children of people I have known that have went to this facility have commited suicide because of the problems in this place and the complete ignorance by most people here. And next staff is not bothered by drug and weapon trading/buying by students and just blow it off like if they have done it. The staff treat different people differently and people who stand up against unfairness have a higher chance of getting suspended or a conversation with their parents/"a call home". People have gotten seriously hurt here and teachers just dont care. If there is an incedent where someone gets hurt/abused here, there is a low chance that the staff team will even care of helping the victim. Next of which is that the office team is reluctant to help parents with applying or certain program such as after school and summer school. If you are thinking of applying your kids into this school I and others agree that this is not a good option. I would reccomend in applying in another school or if possible, another district. Please think thoroughly before making desicions like applying your kids into this place. Please, lets try together to recreate what happened in early 2010."

"My best friend loves this school, but they can work on not giving her as much homework, and they can be nicer to new students is what she always says. When she started at this school, she had no friends and none of this teachers talked to her. But, as the school year went on, she made a friend, and she meet some cool teachers! If you are a non-social person, this school is probably not for you, but you may make a lot of friends here! If your a social person, YOU MUST GO HERE!!!! I hope I didn’t scare you off, please go there!!!"

"I went to folwell for 6th grade. The feeling of being in that school was like feeling that I was in jail for the first time. The teachers weren’t teaching anything and were allowing the students punk other students and watch rated movies without any consequences. There was only one teacher that I liked and I ended not only learning how to play guitar, but also learning how to play nothing else matters by Matellica acoustically. I ended up finishing my. 6th grade year at folwell, just by sleeping through class and getting transferred to Anthony Middle School where all of my friends were."

"Their transportation is the worse. The bus didn't even stop by to pick up my child. This has happened twice and it wasn't been a week. I called transportation and they said in 10mins. They lied cause the bus didn't come. As i was going to drop off my child the bus arrived 1 hour and 10mins later."
