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.

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 am an alumni of FCS and remember how small the school was when I attended unfortunately I feel the school has gotten even smaller which is not ideal for those students who are interested in a larger variety of extra curricular activities as the sports and clubs are limited. I still believe the edu...
