I enjoy going to Franklin County Technical School because they are extreme accommodating to everyone's different situations and know how to get you the right resources required if they can't help you. At least 1-2 teachers for each subject stay after school for extra help or to make up a missed test and if that day doesn't work they try their best to stay after on a day that does work for your schedule.

In my time at Franklin County Technical School I was extremely disappointed by the continuous lack of organization and I often felt that my needs as a student were not being met.

I really enjoyed my years at fcts I learned a lot from the teachers and excelled in my nursing career. The teacher were extremely helpful in learning and helping me study to pass my exams. I enjoyed the food at my school as well it was always pretty good and fresh. I also made a lot of friends at tech. I can't wait to continue my career in nursing.
