They really do go above and beyond to meet your child's needs whatever that may look like or be. They offer smaller and larger classes depending on social skills and goals. The regular updates they provide is absolutely amazing as communication is key to any child's development! The learning itself is very fun and active while helping kids to learn independence along with safe boundaries. Our child is medically complex and they handled it with no problems, they made everything a cake walk. I love the teachers and environment of this school!

We have two children attending Franklin, grades 2 and Kindergarten. This was our first year here and we had a FANTASTIC experience. The teachers were great. My son is reading on a 4th grade+level, and our daughter is on track for the same! I am so glad we are part of the Franklin family. GO FALCONS!!!

I would like to address the review of an individual that is concerned about large class size. I have had six children in this school and have dropped by the school into the classroom many times over the course of the years. It is not uncommon for there to be several smaller directed groups working with a number of teachers within the setting. Franklin also conducts a very orderly environment which maximizes learning. I hope this parent will reconsider their choice. From untold years of experience with Franklin, I highly recommend this school.

I called Franklin to see if this was a good school to place my boy who will be attending 6th grade next year. Franklin officials stated that the class sizes are 30 students per class and that they have 9 classes of six graders. That's 270 students of 6th graders. Needless to say, I will not be placing my boy in that school. The more students in a class room past 20, the poorer the quality. Everyone knows that.
