Reviewed:

I had two of my four children go through Farmlife. Farmlife has had 'growing pains' in the 10 + years that we have lived in the area, but they seem to be better adjusted to the housing boom now. While there are some great staff members there, there are also a handful that made my experience challenging at times. My experience has been that the school has become much more military friendly than it used to be.
The school does however have serious problems with lack of parking and an incredibly frustrating pick up and drop off protocol, that they seem hesitant to remedy...this made me feel they were not always welcoming when it came to parent participation.
