Frankford High School

The school itself is a great establishment for students. The teachers are great, polite, and always available for families. The school also provides great resources for their students. The current principal Lauren Sobieski is the total opposite. She is unprofessional, lacks respect and boundaries for families, and she tends to abuse her authority. She does what she wants because there is no one that will tell her otherwise. This school is apart of IMS and they do not help families when there are issues involved with the schools or staff members. IMS is only there to support the principal in their decisions. No one apart of IMS or St Martin of Tours takes accountability for their actions and they do not handle issues appropriately. They are bias and it will always be IMS versus families when problems occur in the schools.

The 6th, 7th, and 8th-grade teachers are wonderful, and my student has grown exponentially due to the diligence and dedication from each one of them. Especially the 7th-grade teacher, because of her dedication not only to the school but the community around her. She has been helping provide extracurricular activities like volleyball and yearbook, just to name a few, for the students.

We have been at FFS for three years now, and both of my children are thriving. The response to the pandemic was impressive, and the school was open safely as soon as possible, and continues to use effective safety protocols. The teachers have been loving and effective educators. They also go above and beyond to make reasonable accommodations when I've needed them to, to help my children thrive. Communication is great, and the teaching is very creative. I honestly couldn't ask for more. In the past, it seems there was a change of administration and some teacher turn-over, but these "growing pains" seem to have paid off. They school is very organized and continues to improve each year. It is academically rigorous while still allowing children to be children, without homework until 3rd grade. The kids at FFS have ample recess time, and are allowed to play with toys in Kindergarten and 1st grade and aren't expected to sit at desks. There are chickens that the children take care of, and a beautiful outdoor space with grass and trees. When it snows, they go play in the snow. It's a very special place.
