Very good course offering, a nice diverse mix of races. Many students are very motivated and move onto top colleges in state and out of state. The school has a big population and needs to be expanded.

As a parent, I expected Franklin Middle School to provide the fundamental elements every family looks for in a middle school: a safe environment, supportive staff, transparent communication, and above all — a commitment to each child's academic and personal growth. Unfortunately, our experience with the school’s Special Education services fell far below those expectations.The program lacked essential oversight at every level, from the PSL to the classroom teacher. There was no meaningful progress monitoring, no proper testing, and no delivery of individualized instruction as required by law. Instead of making progress, my son regressed while attending this school.When these serious concerns were brought to the administration’s attention, the school initially acknowledged their failures. However, they later reversed their position, citing “miscommunication” and admitting they had not collected the necessary data to support their claims of progress. This is not just disappointing — it is a violation of my child’s educational rights.What is most troubling is that unless you have significant time and financial resources to independently advocate for your child, the system here will not support you. The lack of accountability and the persistence of ineffective practices — even after faults were openly acknowledged — is unacceptable.I strongly urge other families to consider different educational options or secure private support if their child requires special education services. I cannot recommend Franklin Middle School for special education under its current leadership and practices. The consequences for our child’s education were real and lasting — no parent should have to endure the same.

This school is really great and would recommend it. The teachers are very supportive and fun, I had a lot of fun in my years and hope people join and experience it too.
