At Farnsley Middle School, we proudly believe in Student First…Athlete Second, and our student-athletes continue to set the standard in the classroom. During the first semester of the 2025–26 school year, Farnsley student-athletes earned an overall combined GPA of 3.43, demonstrating a strong commitment to academic excellence while balancing the demands of athletics. While Jefferson County Public Schools does not publish a single districtwide middle school GPA average, available district and state benchmarks suggest that the typical middle school GPA ranges between 2.7 and 3.0. Farnsley student-athletes exceeded that benchmark by a significant margin, reflecting the culture of accountability, consistency, and academic pride within our athletic programs. First Semester Team GPA Highlights: Volleyball – 3.608 Cross Country – 3.598 Tennis – 3.592 Girls Basketball – 3.516 Softball – 3.461 Cheer – 3.435 Golf – 3.416 Archery – 3.416 Indoor Track – 3.349 Dance – 3.347 Baseball – 3.341 Swim – 3.319 Boys Basketball – 3.298 Football – 3.292 Our coaches, teachers, and families play a critical role in supporting this work, but the credit belongs to our student-athletes who continue to rise to the challenge and represent Farnsley with pride.
