Farragut High School Reviews
Rating 3.93 out of 5 499 reviews
Great public high school for academics, future opportunities, and sports. However, the social environment isn't the best, as there is a lot of division between groups of students, problems that come within the roots of the high school, competition in not only sports but academics, and a poor high-ranking administrative while I attended that didn't care for the students' wellbeing. As someone who joined Farragut as a sophomore, it was really challenging to adjust to the school environment. However, I am indeed grateful for attending the school and would not change a thing about my high school career other than being more social and outgoing. I always say that Farragut High School was a great way to be exposed to the real world, as I've previously attended private institutions for my education, and it contributed to the person I am today.
Farragut is an amazing school.
The opportunities available are amazing for a public school, however, a newly implemented program has definitely taken it down a notch.
The school developed an Academy system where they force Freshman students to choose a pathway to go to, in other words, they are making 9th graders choose on what they want to do for the rest of their life. This has caused a lot of distress among students, especially considering that they only allow one to change pathways once.
The school has also unfortunately implemented needless, and useless yet mandatory classes in addition to the normal lifetime wellness and PE classes that bring down students' GPAs. They also restricted freshmen from doubling up in any math or science classes, which is an absolute shame.
Farragut has the makings of a great school and teaches many gifted children, however, poor management and administration have stunted the growth of the gifted students at Farragut.

Farragut is a strong and inviting community. However, I feel that they are not the best at preparing students for life after high school. Once you reach your senior year they overload you with all the information you could have learnt the past 3 years of high school. They also don’t set their new students up to succeed. I was a new student my sophomore year of high school and I only knew of one AP class that I could take because my teacher from 8th grade told me to take it. I had no idea that AP Capstone was a thing and looking back I would’ve loved to take it. Farragut is composed of four different school: primary, intermediate, middle and high. Most students went to Farragut since kindergarten. They learned in middle school their path to success and they already had planned out classes they were going to take in their high school journey. My middle did not set us up for that. Overall my experience at Farragut has been good, I am just feeling avoidable stress and anxiety senior year.
