This Charter school is really just based off on getting you into a collage. Since the of start freshmen till the very end, all 4 years at this school they begin preparing to go to collage. They provide collage classes and AP classes, as well as programs to help you prepare for collage. Not just that but because there is less students in this public Charter school there is garante more help available to the students. Wether it's staff, councilors, or teachers they all provide very good help towards us both mentally and academically. Coming from an athlete at this school as well, I can say a plus from this school is the sport coaches that are one of the most amazing, kind, and caring coaches out there.

When I came to O’Farrell for my last year of high school, they welcome me with open arms! The teachers helped me with catching up when I was gone because I join O’Farrell on September 12, 2023 and I was FAR behind and they helped me a lot! Now that I’m in my second semester, I wanna do better with studies and not mess around! Yes I will go on field trips so I could learn what I could do later in life if I wanna change careers paths. But for now I rather stick with business. Students at O’farrell are kind but half aren’t really. Teachers might be strict, but help us for exams, quiz’s, and finals! The staff are always welcoming! The Sports game are very good and fun to watch, mostly the staff vs students! Safe to say, O’Farrell is the best school to pick for your high school experience!!

My overall experience with being at O’Farrell is that the Falcon way has a lot of respect on its name. I love the people at O’Farrell they are kind and respectful. My best experience at O’Farrell is the pep rally’s and the spirit weeks we get to participate with the school. I don’t think there’s any worst parts about O'Farrell. I would like to see more buildings and people showing kindness even when they don’t want to. Thank you so much
