Great school with good community and teachers who want to teach.

Franklin Elementary is an excellent school. There is an engaged school community and wonderful new leadership since 2016. The student's "high five" the principal on the way into and out of school and they enjoy learning. The teachers are uniformly excellent and staff morale seems great. Scores are excellent and continue to climb and the ethnic and socioeconomic diversity at this school is a plus as well. Hard to ask for much more.

Overall teaching is quite good, as is parent involvement. As for the principal, well, two out of three ain't bad.

The school is excellent - great teachers, lots of teacher aids in the classrooms, good parent participation. The physical school could use some work.

Horrible Principal! Principal thinks she knows what's best for child better than parents. School is quick to medicate! Takes children who learn differntly OUT of the classroom for long periods of time or keeps them in the classroom in front of the computer doing Computer games!
