One of the worst schools in the entire district. I could not wait to the school year to end fast enough, awful admin even more awful teachers. Teachers are elderly women who probably got hired when anyone could get job here, they’ve been teaching for 30 years so believe they can get away with anything. There’s a focus on bullying, do not recommend.

This school is absolutely wonderful. My daughter is a GATE student and that program has done a great job of challenging her, but at the same time, if she becomes overwhelmed, we can always stop the extra GATE work and still feel confident that she is getting a good education. My child has loved every teacher she has had and we all appreciate the hard working and very involved principal. The staff are all doing a fantastic job and I have to say the only thing that needs work are the parents. These kids have how to behave in a line down since kindergarten, but the adults for whatever reason have a difficult time with it. But this amazing school is always working to alleviate that issue as well, the best they can. This school is our favorite part of our community.

Ben Franklin is an excellent school for academic achievement and parent involvement along with many other attributes. I do have to say though many of the teachers play favoritism and that is not fair to the other children. The teachers need to give the other students a chance for awards instead of giving awards to the child whose parents are teachers, principles or room moms that are friends with the teachers. Everyone knows this INCLUDING the students.

We recently moved our kids to this elementary school from another school district in OC. After being at this school for 6th months, we are pleasantly surprised how great their principle and teachers are. They encouraged and promoted our kid's learning skills by identifying their strengths and continue to promote learning with encouragements
