I attended Franklin Academy from kindergarten through graduation. The academics are well taught and prepare you well for college. Overall I had a good experience at this highschool but some things need to change. There is not enough diversity, and students are taught not to express themselves.

Lots of staff turnover. A staff a month quit in 2022-2023 school year. Haven’t had a returning math teacher in fiv...
