Please listen.This school has devolved into a place where if anythings wrong with you, your useless.Here is my opinion on this school and its teachers.There is like 300+ students here, and like 85% assault others and commit battery on a daily basis.The students are in a place where you either are a bully who everyone likes, or your a useless being with no friends. (I am the second.)Teachers don't even do anything about the bullying. I am constantly verbally bullied and i've been victim of around 65 counts of Assault and Battery.Your expected to keep up with 11 Assignments a day, and if you fail any, your dead.If your a parent reading this, DON'T bring your kids here unless you want them to have a high chance of failing, get bullied or become a bully, get no help from the office, and be a jerk/anxious person.I am a student, this is my honest opinion.

I used to go here, As someone whos mature enough to write a general review, Here's my experience going to franklin middle school by grade.6th grade:In 6th grade they had a program called "Kite" which was described to be desirable for students. I was one of the people who got accepted and actually liked it a bunch. There were maybe 3-5 fights the whole year, But my grades were high along with my classmates as I had great teachers. My 6th grade year ended with us having "2 weeks of spring break" Which turned into the whole COVID 19 Thing.7th grade:My 7th grade started online because of COVID 19. Since I choose to be back when I could, I was placed in a class with one of the best teachers I've ever had. Unfortunately since I started out online, My grades started slipping really bad and nobody ever helped despite me reaching out several times. The counselors were absolutely useless in all my three years going here As well. The whole last three months of school were spent doing absolutely nothing and being outside with the class.8th grade: Nothing good came out of this year. I had multiple teachers who straight up disliked me to the point of sabotage, A teacher whom worked their first year with me in the class (He had multiple breakdowns but i still love him). There was numerous fights throughout the year and almost zero safety protocalls. I was hatecrimed on a daily basis, No teachers ever reached out or anything. My 8th grade year was the worst year in all of my schooling. Franklin middle school gave up on me and many others after 6th grade. I couldn't tell you one thing I learned at this school and its a poor choice to send your child here.
