I attended Franklin Academy from kindergarten through graduation. The academics are well taught and prepare you well for college. Overall I had a good experience at this highschool but some things need to change. There is not enough diversity, and students are taught not to express themselves.

Overall great learning environment for both students and staff. Excellent at preparing students for college and their future.
1/21/2022

Lots of staff turnover. A staff a month quit in 2022-2023 school year. Haven’t had a returning math teacher in fiv...
