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.

My overall experience at Franklin learning center was a good experience. I was a part of the dance department, my four years in high school overall the student body was a great community, even though they had their ups and downs. Taught me strength in independence.

During the years I've been at this school, I haven't had any problems. I think what made my experience here better was the fact that i got along with the right people and my counselor was a great help. The school event we've had have been great, at least for me. The staff and teachers are all so nice, of course, very strict when needed. Overall, I've liked it here.

Franklin Learning center is a Career based school. We are offered different opportunities to major in a specific area of interest you may have. With these majors it allows you to balance regular classes while also getting the information you need to have a career path right after you graduate if college is something you're not interested in. Franklin learning center has a college prep major but even outside of this major I think they do a pretty good job with preparing students for college.

I am a student here at f.l.c and it isn't what most people think or believe. Overall the school is ok. I say this becuase they lack extra-curricular activities, the credit system is unreasonable because there is no point for it, and the funding isnt great neither. For example the building is old and...
