Franklin Middle Magnet School

I do not know why GreatSchools rating is 5/10. All parents that I know are very happy and proud of the school leadership and environment. We feel that it is a privilege that our sons are here. The school is old (almost 100 years), but he current system and leadership are totally new (about 6 years old). The after school enrichment programs are wonderful, even an unique Golf program. Teachers, students and parents use Edsby, an communication app.

This is as close to a private "prep" school as you can get, our family feels so blessed to be able to attend. Our son is in the gifted program and is appropriately challenged in his coursework and supported psychologically by the single-gender environment. Far exceeds our expectations. The after school enrichment programs give the boys an opportunity to participate in athletics even if not experienced enough to make the competitive teams. We celebrate diversity in our home and appreciate that the school instills the same values of integrity, respect, and scholarship in the boys as we do.

This school is excellent for students who are NOT out spoken. The AP has a nice nasty attitude. Franklin main concern is the school rating!!! They don't know how to handle most of the students, so they pick on the out spoken ones. Other than that, it's like any other school. Good and bad students, Nice and Rude staff members, and poor lunch. School is what you make out of it.

Because of it's currently low rating (1-29-14) I was extremely skeptical. My son has only attended 10 rated schools, however, they changed my mind. This school has a disciplined, controlled and respectful environment. I ve never seen my son work so hard in any other school. It s not in the best area but it s worth the try. This school keeps their minds on education instead of girls or popularity. This school rewards the students and is business leader oriented. It s a good way to help them in the future for the work environment and self discipline.
