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.

Franklin High is an overall pretty decent school, there are many good classes offered for people who want to be challenged and get ready for college. It's super important to have a good teacher; some are great, they really engage and want to teach but some don't work so well with students. Having close friends is key too, as some people are mean at school.

I think the overall academics, sports, and other extra curriculars are some of the best and strongest parts of Franklin high school. However, there are incidents that distract students from those positives like fights and vandalism that could possibly be decreased with stronger administrative action.

It's a shame because generations of families have raved about the opportunities afforded to their kids because of the public education they received in Franklin, but many of us frear those times are becoming a thing o...

I had to leave the school due to bullying that the school would do nothing about. A lot of the teachers are awful. The students are out of control. Lots of work to be had on this school, because it's a VERY nice building, but the atmosphere is irresponsible.
