It was an amazing experience, it was the perfect balance of military and grade school. I miss being there. There are many opportunities provided by the military department of this school. The principal is very professional is helping Franklin Military Academy get more recognition.

Franklin is a small school with a great approach to discipline. There are very strong leaders in this school's administration. The students are kept very involved with field trips and community involvement. Excellence is expected.

There are things in every school that need to be worked on and adjusted. Speaking from a student stand point. This school tries its best to work as a team. At some points it is not as successful as it could be, but it is a pretty decent school; the less you complain the quicker you will get over it.
