FARMINGTON FRESHMAN ACADEMY

FARMINGTON FRESHMAN ACADEMY is a Title I public secondary school that is part of the FARMINGTON SCHOOL DISTRICT school district, located in FARMINGTON, AR with about 199 students. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 12 teachers, FARMINGTON FRESHMAN ACADEMY has a student/teacher ratio of about 16:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

FARMINGTON FRESHMAN ACADEMY, located in Farmington, Arkansas, serves as a specialized transitional campus dedicated exclusively to ninth-grade students within the Farmington School District. By focusing solely on the freshman experience, the academy aims to bridge the gap between middle school and the more rigorous academic environment of the high school. The curriculum is designed to prepare students for the requirements of high school graduation while fostering the personal and social maturity necessary for success in their upcoming upperclassman years.

The academy emphasizes a supportive environment that helps students acclimate to the "Farmington Cardinal" culture. Beyond core academics, the school provides a focused setting where teachers can closely monitor student progress, offer early interventions, and build strong relationships with students during this pivotal year. As part of the larger Farmington school system, the academy utilizes the district’s resources to ensure that students are academically, socially, and emotionally prepared to transition seamlessly into Farmington High School for their sophomore year.
