Ashton-Franklin Center is a small school in a small town. I am graduating in 2024 and my graduating class will have a little more then 30 kids. I think the school is good for what it is. My experience here was not a bad one. Our sport teams are not good though. In our area we are known for losing. Overall it's a very safe school with decent teachers.

The small town environment is great! We have excellent teachers, who know all the students and form a bond with them.

It is a nice but old school. The teachers and people are friendly. The staff is much more friendly and involved than I think they would be in the city. The environment makes the school seem safe. The school is aged and sometimes cold.

I have been with this district for one year.The leadership is HORRIBLE. There is no communication or follow up to questions. 1. The principle ignores emails and phone calls. Has called my child a liar (because they all lie at that age.) 2. The superintendent is not interested in fixing anything. Eve...
