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.

This was my high school. This was by far the most vacuous waste of my life. The fact that I was forced to attend this school resulted in me remaining in the bottom of the social caste system, as it removed any opportunity of me escaping Delaware County. I got herpes from the bathroom.

Awesome School. Teachers are fantastic; they care about their students so much. I came to Franklin in 6th grade, and loved it right away. The people there are friendly, and classes are fun. There are sports, clubs, and activities to join. I would most definitely choose Franklin Central School if I could do it again.

I still believe the edu...
