The school year begins September 8, 2026 and ends June 25, 2027.
Farnsworth Middle School brings Guilderland’s five elementary communities together for grades 6–8. Students arrive from Altamont, Guilderland, Lynnwood, Pine Bush, and Westmere elementary schools, then continue to Guilderland High School. Within Farnsworth, teaching teams are organized into four houses: Hiawatha, Mohawk, Seneca, and Tawasentha. The house structure creates smaller groups of students and teachers within the district’s shared middle school.
Environmental learning draws on the surrounding Pine Bush habitat. The school participates in work to preserve the Pine Bush and the endangered Karner blue butterfly, and has an organic garden and greenhouses. A television studio supports student-produced news broadcasts, while a Project Adventure course provides an activity-based setting for learning.
