They have four locations in Mesa, with Franklin West in the heart of the Downtown district. Combined, the school serves a total of 1,100 elementary and middle-school students.
Much like Benjamin Franklin himself, the school prides itself on its focus on continual improvement and conservative values. The school also comments on its “rigorous” curriculum paired with its accessible tutoring meant to assist youth in keeping on par with its high standards.
The school also focuses on the development of students’ literacy and ability to solve problems. Among its listed specialties, Franklin West emphasizes its role in instilling a sense of respect and acceptance among its diverse group of youth. They also mention their efforts to develop social and emotional skills through group-based instruction and clearly communicated behavioral expectations.
The school’s efforts have earned them five National Blue Ribbon Awards since 2008. Many positive Google reviews left by parents and community members can also be seen to corroborate the approval of the teaching staff and exceptional school standards. Parents eager to send their child here should register quickly before enrollment fills up.
