This page keeps reloading.8th grade counselor is unresponsive.Requests for special needs accommodations are largely ignored.Most teachers do not post lessons or assignments online for students who miss school for medical reasons.No on-site tutoring is available.Bathrooms are disgusting.The nurse is rarely ever in.There are a few excellent, engaged teachers and administrators, but for the most part this school is overwhelmed and ill-equipped to deal with much beyond business as usual.Their lockdown processes appear to be sound, though.Coming from the wonderful Maple Elementary, Mercer Middle School has been a real disappointment. We look forward to a hopefully better experience at Cleveland High.

We were worried that our teen, coming from a small private school, would have difficulties at such a large, diverse high school. Franklin High was the best choice we ever could have made. Our teen is getting more from the experience at Franklin than we ever dreamed. The kids are great, welcoming, tolerant, fun, and even polite to adults (I always appreciate that). The academics are challenging and prepare students well, as our teen's PSAT scores would attest. AP and honors classes make for lots of homework, but there is also plenty of fun happening too. Our teen is stronger, smarter, and happier because she goes to Franklin. There is not a bunch of privileged, entitled kids expecting everything to be handed to them, judging others who have less. It's a good place to be.

Great school and community of faculty and students.
