Not enough motivated parents to make this a great school.
Posted by a parent on 9/4/2019My daughter has been in Franklin since kindergarten and is now in 3rd grade. She has nothing but good things to say and report home. We so far are very pleased and would assure any parent that it’s a great environment for all children. So far all four of her teachers have been amazing!
Posted by a parent on 1/20/2019There are a few great teachers at Franklin, it's about time we have a gym teacher we do not share with the district, whose great with the kids and do so much with them. Still in need of a new principal though, she's taking away from this school capability and the teachers credibility & performances
Posted by a parent on 11/23/2014This school is great. The teachers are extremely dedicated and genuinely care for the well-being and development of our young ones. They really pour their heart out; the principal however, needs to change her priorities.
Posted by a parent on 9/9/2014Franklin School is a wonderful elementary school! The principal and teachers go out of their way to ensure all the decisions made are in the best interest of the students. They have created such a caring, warm, and inviting school climate. I am proud to say I my children go to Franklin!

8/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageSchool is very dirty; bathrooms look like they haven't been cleaned in years, big mice and rodent infestation. School secretary is not a very nice person she looks overwhelmed and takes her frustrations out on parents. Parents and some of teachers are very cliquey and keep your child out of things and make them feel really bad.Other Review3mo ago - Belleville PS7

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI love this school! They teach you well and also give fun to the students. The teachers are nice, but strict at the same time. The teachers are very engaged in what they are doing. They care about the students and give them a safe and clean environment. The hallways are clean, the bathrooms are pretty clean, and the food is good. I would rate this school a 8/10 which is pretty good. I would definitely recommend going there if you want your children to have an amazing time. The grades are pre k all the way to sixth grade. Right now I'm going into sixth grade and cant wait to have another fun school year!Other Review1y ago - Fairview Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageMy son has been in this school for 4 years and the experience I have had with the teachers here has not been great. These tenure are very rude and disrespectful to parents (the black parents). They also like to play a lot of mind games and antagonize parents.Parent Review1mo ago - Forest Ave School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThis school is unprofessional. Went through the admission process since June 2025. Got everything they asked for: 2 letters of recommendation, 2 years grades, and 2 years standardized tests. Also needed an interview with the principal. I had to do numerous follow ups just to get an interview, which was later postponed. The week of 8/11 I finally went in for the interview. Was told I’d hear back on a couple of days. I was ghosted. No response. I followed up, no response. I could have sent my son to a different school. Totally unprofessional. They need to realize that this has an impact on my family. I expected better from this school. Also, the different seasonal uniform requirement are ridiculous.Parent Review8mo ago - Kid's Corner
