Serving more than 1,000 students in seventh through twelfth grades, Benjamin Franklin High School is a part of the Benjamin Franklin Charter School District. The school’s mission is to create an environment encouraging students to become intellectually curious, as they believe this helps students access their full potential and allows them to discover all of the possibilities the world has to offer.
The Benjamin Franklin Charter School District was founded in 1995, making it one of the first charter schools in Arizona. Since 1995, three other Benjamin Franklin charter schools have been established. The last branch of the district to open was the high school in 2013.
In 2018, the Benjamin Franklin Charter Schools were transitioned into non-profits. The conversion to non-profit status gives the school new resources allowing them to better serve the teachers, students and families who are a part of the school community.
With an impressive graduation rate of 100%, Benjamin Franklin High School is ranked in the top 5% of Arizona High Schools and top 8% in the nation. They do so with strong parental involvement. The school is governed and operated partially by the parents, who are encouraged to take an active role in their child's academics. The school system believes it is this involvement and care that forms such a strong community and place to learn.

Benjamin Franklin High School is a prime example of a school that cares for its students from the caring teachers that wish only the best for their students to the curriculum teaching students the value of critical thinking and questioning this school is pretty good

My high experience was overall lackluster. The faculty was very strict on deadlines, and grading. I did not receive the help I needed to prepare for college. The diversity was very low due to the small student populous and the arts department was underfunded compared to the sports department. The saving grace were the few teachers that truly cared for the students and pushed for them to succeed.

Academically challenging but good preparation for college classes. Lots of Advanced Placement and Honors options to earn college credit.

Good school with some flaws. Homework load is great. Not too much. Students are kind. Teachers are mainly good and administrators are very nice.

I feel like the students are what mak...

This school used to be great. Now it has devolved into a mediocre, run-of-the-mill district school.
