West Central

had a wonderful experience completing my practicum at this school. My mentor teacher, Ms. Henley, was incredibly supportive, welcoming, and knowledgeable. She took the time to guide me through observations, lesson planning, and teaching opportunities, and I learned so much from being in her classroom. The students were engaged and cared for, and it was clear how dedicated the staff is to creating a positive learning environment. I’m very thankful for the opportunity and highly recommend this school to families and future educators alike.

The teachers go above and beyond to create a safe, engaging, and encouraging learning environment. They communicate well with parents and genuinely care about both academic growth and emotional well-being. It’s clear they take the time to understand each child’s individual needs.

Our daughter has attended Franklin Accelerated East K-6 and as she is entering Jr High she's reading at nearly a college level! The teachers and staff are all caring & supportive. There is absolutely zero bullying and any instances are handled immediately, as a parent I appreciate this immensely. Parents are heavily involved in activities and volunteering, as a parent that volunteered throughout the years it has been great working with these students and getting them excited about education. My husband attended in his elementary years ago and actually began college level courses when he turned 15 because of the education from this school. Highly recommend.

Some of the teachers here are really wonderful however others don't treat the children very good at all. I've noticed that some of the teachers here talk down to the kids and don't treat them with kindness at all. Seems as though they very much have the mentality that children should be seen and not heard. My kids complained on several occasions that the teachers would raise their voice without reason, sometimes so loud they explained being frightened by certain teachers. Also I had called and requested my child be seen by the school counselor and my daughter said they never followed up. The bullying at this school is not taken seriously at all and often times is brushed off and the bullied kids walk away from situations feeling like they are at fault. I can't wait for the year to end to not have anything else to do with this school.
