Some changes that could be made to franklin would be different learning strategies. The school teachers try to do their best but the way they teach could be more productive. They often do not give students a chance to practice the work or even understand it before throwing an assignment or test on us. If the school was more hands on it would be a decent school. The potential is there and you can tell the teachers truly care about their students. They do go the extra mile sometimes when we do not understand something when they do ask.

Franklin high school is a great school. No, it's not the biggest, nor is it known for athletics or major academics. However, this school is family, the teachers and principals make you feel at home. The principal knows everyone's name and always greets you in the morning stating your first or nickname. You will never feel left out while in this school it is fair and very welcoming.
