Enjoyed this school, having a great time. My grades and overall experiences with teachers and academics are fantastic.

I'm a senior I'm Franklin Towne CHS. I think it's a nice school, the academics are challenging in a good way. I've always had an A or my lowest was a B+. My best experiences was meeting my friends and gaining the independence that I got from highschool. But the worst part is the lack of fun events. Freshman year we had all these fun events at the end of the quarter to give us a mental break and reward us for our success. Now we don't do that. If so it's one per year and it usually only has certain people instead of everyone. Overall I had a nice four years here, earning my independence, growing, making friends and being successful along the way.

I have been apart of Franklin Towne since the elementary school, and have grew up here. They have been very supportive throughout the years, and helped me in many ways. I would like student opinions for things go on in the school to be more taken in account on a daily basis.

To students considering this school, don’t completely rule out Franklin Towne...
