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.

I've been going to Frankford High School for 2 years now and I'm about to enter my junior year. My time at Frankford has honestly been very pleasant there are a lot of opportunities there. There are many sports and clubs. I have been in the past two spring musicals and they are always a really fun experience. I think that many of the students at Frankford don't know what they want to do after high school. The only problem I see with this is that some don't have the motivation to get good grades and pass their classes causing them to delay their graduation date. I think that Frankford needs to find a way to get students to put the same focus they have on their relationships with others in their schoolwork.

I has been in Frankford High School for 4 years in a roll, the best thing I thought that the school decide to do is that assign each student a younder bag, no students are allow to have their phone out during the school day hours, which I was kind of mad at first but when I realize the improvements on me, I'm thankful to the school for making this awesome decision.

The BOOKS are there for everyone. There are resources online. If you CHOOSE not to read or study, that's on YOU and YOUR PAR...

This school is nothing but a garbage dump! It's a haven for gang thugs and the administration has no control at all over this school. This principal, Reginald Fisher, at last report didn't even have his principal's certificate/license!!! He's a sawed-off little runt with a Napoleonic complex. The sc...
