This is our kids' first time being in a public school and we couldn't be happier with Parmenter! It is a very progressive school with dedicated and caring teachers and staff, including an innovative, compassionate, and highly visible principle.

This is a great school for your kids. I consider the rating of 6 to be less for its standards. I would consider this school to have a 9 or 10 rating among the elementary schools in Franklin.

Great school where the teachers take an individual interest in each student. Parents are always helping out in and around the school.

A wonderful school. Moved here from WI hoping to find a school that's academically challenging, but at the same time have students, teachers, and administrators that are open minded, cultured, and caring. It may not have the best rating (8--not 9 or 10) but it is the most balanced school in the area. We found what we were looking for. In the past we've been to schools, public and private, that boast great reviews, but either had students, parents, teacher, administrators that bullied or had religious/personal prejudism. You won't find that here in Parmenter. Mrs. Bassagnani just retired and we'll miss her very much. She and all specialists/staff did the best they can for the interest of our son who was needing a little help socially, especially being the new kid. Thank you God for directing us to this town and school.
