South Walnut Ranch, presents a rare opportunity to own a well-located and highly versatile property, in the heart of the Post Oak Savannah. The property offers excellent accessibility with road frontage on FM 979, Beck Prairie Road, and FM 46, along with water service from Robertson County Water Supply and electricity from Navasota Valley Electric.

10/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageExcellent principal & some fine teachers, but I think it could use improvement in areas like: curriculum (seems weak, muddled); overemphasis on standardized tests; lack of PTA/parent "voice"; and counterproductive disciplinary approach (punishing an entire class based on actions of a few students helps nothing). Other options include nearby schools, private schools, online public schools & home school.Parent Review12y ago - Franklin Middle School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThere's a district-wide focus on sports, building construction, and STAAR tests. In order to improve, this campus should communicate better, offer more opportunities for a well-rounded education, and make better use of instructional time. Grades 5-8.Parent Review11y ago
