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.
The Test Score Rating reflects annual state test results for this school compared with scores statewide.

West Franklin is one big family. I think the best thing about West Franklin is the teachers who work there. They are incredibly helpful and care for their students. I would like to see more money put into the school. The school struggles with resources due to not having the emoney to get what they need.

Our school has CHICKEN all the time. Chicken patties every Wednesday!!! It gets pretty old. Most of the food isn't very good anyway, and the proportions suck! Everyone, athlete or not, is hungry even after lunch. I wish we had better quality and quantity of food.

I think we need more classrooms because some classes have to be shared
Great 9.5 Acre Recreational or Future Home site with quick access to Ottawa and I-35. Good Mix of Timber and Cleared Areas for an Easy Build Site with minimal site prep costs. Creek splits the property east and west and there are a number of ATV trails that traverse the entire property.
Beautiful build site, with 10 acres m/l. The pond is shared between this property and the neighbor. The land is fenced and has cattle on it. There are some mature trees on the property. Call to schedule an appointment!
Take a look at this heavily wooded 5 acres just a few miles south of Overbrook! This property has road frontage on two sides, one of which is paved, lots of woods and electricity and water is along both roads. Tracts like this are hard to find! Make this property your new build site!
