My experience at The O'Farrell Charter School has primarily just been focused on academics. That's what O'Farrell is all about, academics. For me personally, I'm a person who loves to collaborate with others and get involved with the community. O'Farrell lacks this. Despite the school's expectations of their students to perform well as individuals, they yet fall short when it comes to teaching students soft skills and life lessons that will apply to their future. What I did enjoy was my experience in the high school, they offer dual enrollment courses. Though there are very few courses, students get to experience first-hand what would be expected of them in a college course while still being in high school. It really teaches them time management, communication, and so much more. I would like there to be a change when it comes to the arts department. Many students are talented and created and O'Farrell doesn't cater to this group of students.
The O'Farrell Charter School is a very close-knit oriented community. I have been attending this school since middle school and have never felt harmed or threatened. Due to the small size, it allows more bonding and relationships between staff and students. Teachers and staff overall highly encourage the students to try their best and to aim for the stars. I have created many bonds with multiple of my teachers and they have created a safe space. At O'Farrell, academics are highly favored over sports. O'Farrell makes sure that you graduate with your A-G requirements so that we are college ready. Throughout my years here, I have highly enjoyed the opportunity that O'Farrell provides for their students.
I would say the overall experience throughout The O’Farrell Charter School is very demanding but also knows how to have fun & breaks at times. The objective of throughout Highschool is to apply for a 4 year university with all the other options given 0 to little recongition. Uniform guidelines, pressure, and lack of funding for school clubs & sports and would be the downsides of this high school experience but makes up for it with constant reminders of tutoring being available from morning till afternoon & academic support being found all over campus.
