Franklin Middle School

Brookfield to me was a wonderful school. I was there since kindergarten and its a amazing school

i went here it sucked during the 6th grade play i got kicked out of it because they didint give me part of my costumeI don't recommend

Since the COVID outbreak, the quality of education in this school as been lacking. The teachers are more motivated to just teach the curriculum generally, and there is not enough homework assignments and projects handed out. The school used to be better. You really need to supplement your child's education with other external classes in order to really catch up with the actual curriculum. The AAP teacher here is also not very helpful and Fairfax County AAP and Advanced Placement curriculum is very confusing and keeps changing all the time.

It's a lovely school. Students are treated quite well. I am amazed at how sporty the Ms. Durso is. She is such a role model for all students. Teachers are welcoming, supportive. Heaven for Asian students due to school's inclusive culture.

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.

This school honestly should have a standing ovation on how well they can act then break character the second the visitors or parents leave. There is I kid you not ONE whole hallway in the middle school side. The air conditioner breaks every other week, the classrooms smell like things that SHOULD NOT be used in the classroom has been used, there is one decent teacher, and the principal, goodness, who even hired him? Don't be fooled because it's a Catholic school, they lack firmly teaching their students virtue and the bullying is barely under control. One quick social media search and there are DOZENS of hateful pages UNDER the schools name. The entirety of this schools existence is downright shameful and can be considered a mockery. DO NOT ENROLL YOUR CHILD HERE!

Our family has been a part of the Nysmith community for the past 9 years. We have two children in the program, both started in kindergarten, one of which is about to graduate from 8th grade and another finishing up 5th grade. Our son and daughter have benefited greatly from Nysmith's rotating classrooms for different courses with subject-specialist teachers. This learning model keeps children engaged, a chance to really dive deep into topics and offers critical touchpoints throughout the day with over a dozen committed teachers as they maneuver through classrooms. There is plenty of opportunity for academic acceleration for interested students (if your child loves math, the sky's the limit). Besides having small class sizes, we have found that the difference has been the dedicated teachers - they take the time to really know your child. The teachers are phenomenal - whether it be a core subject or an elective course, our kids come home eager to share what they have learned and are genuinely excited to go to school each day. The coursework can be challenging, but kids are learning in a way that does not create a stressful experience. If they are struggling to understand a topic, teachers make the time to help them. In our experience, there is not a lack of resources and many times, teachers knew what our kids needed before we even thought of it - that is the level of care you get at Nysmith. Our eldest will be graduating from the program this year and is more than prepared to succeed in high school. Much credit goes to the supportive teachers at Nysmith who have truly changed his educational trajectory. Our children have blossomed into confident, capable and thoughtful young leaders - we are ever so grateful to be a part of this community.
