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.

This school offers many amazing opportunities for classes and clubs. I appreciate the support and encouragement from all of my teachers and have made many valuable connections with many of them. The sports atmosphere is very welcoming and impressive at this school and I had a great time playing on the women's volleyball and golf teams. I would recommend this high school to anyone who wants a welcoming community and hands on learning environment.

It is a good school with a lot of wheel chair accessibility elevators and ramps. The food they serve is pretty good because of the burrito or chips with tons of sides. The lines at lunch took way too long. of the 40 or so minutes in lunch, you would need to wait maybe 30 if you are unlucky with a class in the opposite side of the school.

Overall pretty good, but we need more opportunities to take more classes then we can which is like 2 electives only in freshman and sophomore years and also to allow more ap classes and like complete a course before the year u r taking the class so maybe you can take more electives.

Couldn't be happier or more grateful to the staff and teachers at FHS. Their AP program is soaring with student participation, thanks to Susie Bartley and others. Graduation rates get better every year, due to the passion and enthusiasm the teachers pass on. Our child was involved in many, many acti...

My student has really blossomed at Franklin. He was a tag student at his middle school, and mostly into academics. At FHS he got a chance to run cross country, try the school paper, and get into lots of other extra-curricular activities. He also took AP classes nearly every year. FHS has a good, div...
