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.

The teachers are very nice and involved and we have some good opportunities but after budget cuts there have been so many clubs, classes, and extracurriculars that have been cut. Without these, students don't have outlets to be themselves and make connections.

I liked it here but they put more money into the sports and more "academic" features than any of the arts. The theater program was cut almost a year after I had graduated, and became a club instead of a program. Please fund the arts more.

I have had an amazing 4 years of high school here. The school is very big and it is very modern. It was built in 2014 and freshly cleaned every day. The teachers are pretty nice here and they helped with college stuff. Some changes I wish to see is safer hallways because sometimes there are people vaping in the bathrooms and fights in the hallways. We have a lot of resources here and our sports teams are very good. I wish there was a little bit more funding for the clubs and sport because they are a little expensive. Overall I have a had a great experience at this school.

Franklin Schools are thanked often by the town for "doing so much with so little". 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.
