I would give the school 3 out of 5 stars. I don't care for the math department at all. I don't think any of the teachers do a good job teaching math in this school. My 2 kids went from GT math students to standard and confused, the schools answer is to get them a tutor.

FMS is a great school. Even though there are cliques everywhere you look, most of the kids are nice to one another. But some of the kids just take your fun learning away. I am an 8th grader and i have been going here since 6th grade and I have top say that most of my teachers were and are jus really

Ok, so I was reading the reviews about how you wouldnt send your kid to this school because they dont have ac, really? So what if it doesnt have ac think of it like a learning experience because you arent always going to have everything you want in life. I loved franklin middle, I went all three years

Theres tons of after school activities, from basketball to band. It may not be the best school but its deffiantly not a bad one.

This is has been first year at Franklin Middle School (8th grade), and I was impressed. I came from a Private School. The teachers (some of them) are fantastic. However, I think some teachers fail to realize that we are someone else's children, and not their own. The way I have seen some of the teachers
... Read more talk/act towards other students has offended me. I speak my mind frequently, but I have never talked back to a teacher until I came to this school. Also, I was actually quite angered that we did not have something as basic as Air Conditioning, but we have a heater. I also was very disappointed on social aspects. School is meant for learning AND making friends. And the fact that we cannot sit with whom we chose at lunch is ridiculous. We are not in elementary school. Come on Franklin. Read less

I was very disappointed with Franklin MS. Never in a million years would I have thought that my child would be in a school without the most basic of conveniences like Air Conditioning. The staff spent more time and energy stating that there were 1,500 students instead of catering to any one of them.

The students were not the best behaved, mostly because there are just too many. I thought that I had thoroughly researched this school but I was very disappointed. My child only attended one year- no way I would send him back. Read less

Of course their are always bad kids, good, kids, the smartest kids, preppy kids, rude kids and other kids but we all come together because each teacher shows love and affection and support towards us everyday. That is what is the great school. Also because they have so many extra
