My experience at Franklin was different due to me joining the school right in the middle of my sophomore year but i really like the schools library along with some of the classrooms and the teachers were very welcoming and kind towards me when i first transferred and even now as well. And i can still say the same thing now as a junior.

Really bad school. Teachers have s3xual relations with students and administrators know & keep quiet about it. Some of the students will have s3x with principal to get other students expelled. Avoid at all cost!
