A brand-new website for a new century of Farnsworth.
At Farnsworth, we believe in high expectations for all stakeholders. In our safe and nurturing environment, we are committed to providing an inclusive education with rigorous, differentiated instruction designed to engage all learners. We envision our students to be physically and emotionally healthy lifelong learners who are college and career ready.
Our school aspires to provide strong instructional programs and high quality teaching that promotes interest in life-long learning.
Students, Families, Staff and Community - We are all a Team at Farnsworth!
As we conclude our Centennial celebration and continue the exciting journey of reimagining the future of Farnsworth, we are thrilled to introduce our newly redesigned school website!

Our new website reflects who we are today: a welcoming, innovative, and inclusive learning community dedicated to helping every Mustang learn, grow, and thrive. Whether you are looking for important school information, curriculum resources, upcoming events, or ways to stay connected, you'll find everything in one easy-to-navigate location.
We are especially excited to share two new videos featured on the site. One highlights the exceptional educational experience at Farnsworth, while the other showcases the inclusive culture, strong sense of belonging, and supportive community that make our school so special.
As with any new website, there are still several refinements and updates underway. We appreciate your patience as we continue to enhance the site over the coming weeks.
Thank you for your continued partnership and for being such an important part of our Mustang family.
Our Mustang Mingle was a beautiful celebration of the incredible teachers, staff, families, volunteers, alumni, neighbors, and friends who continue to show up for this amazing school community.
Because of your generosity, energy, and support, the evening was a tremendous success.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who attended, donated, volunteered, sponsored, planned, and helped make the night so meaningful.
Farnsworth is a place where students are supported, teachers are valued, and families feel connected — and that is because of all of you.
As we celebrate the past 100 years, we are also investing in the next 100 and ensuring this extraordinary community continues to thrive.
Thank you for making Mustang Mingle so special.
Congratulations, Mustangs!

After advocating for our students over the past two years, we are happy to share that CPS has replaced our front steps! Our next project that we are advocating for is repairing the asphalt on the back side of the building!
Thank you to our early childhood classrooms and families for sponsoring our "little garden" and to Ms. Ryan for helping our prek and kindergarten students create a new garden sign!
