The O'Farrell Charter School caters to low income families and provides financial and academic support. I, as a student, feel safe and I feel as though I am able to talk to my teachers regarding educational and even personal situations. They are very professional and the staff often asks us how we are doing and how the school can support us. However, there are times where I notice the differences the school shares with the local educational establishments nearby. Pre-Covid, the school enforced uniform and only allowed select days where students could dress freely, however, dress rules were strict. Moreover, the high school's schedule consist of long classes, about two hours where they are block schedules. Overall, the school benefits the schedules of both parents and students alike.
At this school, there are many opportunities to have students become college-ready. We often take notes, have grades, and act as if we are enveloped in a college environment. The teachers explain our assignments throughougly, resulting in getting high grades on tests and quizzes. As an AVID curricular school, teachers toward students try their very best to help each other understand the material and gradually become a well rounded student. As we have a relatively small campus, there is a ratio between students and staff that can individually help is out more. If we need any mental, physical, or emotional health, they are always happy to support.
I went to O’farrell for 7 years and I made a lot friends there and the teachers were nice and always encouraging me to do better in school. When I went there I always thought that I would never do good in school and that I would disappoint my parents by doing bad but my teachers and my IEP manager was always there for me telling me that I can do great in school I just have to try my hardest and believe in myself and to work hard in school. The friends I made at O’farrell became my best friends, they have always been there for me and I have always been there for them. We went in the 6th grade and have been friends for 8 years now. I think O’farrell is a great school that has good education and great teachers and where students can really make friends.
