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.

Academics offered at Franklin Central School are diverse. There are many options. General classes, College level courses, and several electives. As a very small school, it is mostly limited to the more common academics. For example, there is not a wood-shop, but there is band, chorus, American/British Literature, History through Film, and others. The workload is reasonable.

I still believe the edu...
