GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

overall i love franklin heights. I love the teachers and students there. The principal makes a point to know everyone and be involved. I would love to see the students come together more though, and show school spirit at sporting events, peprallys, or just through the school.
