We have had three children go through Franklin Middle School. All have had wonderful experiences and have gone on the become successful at the high school level.
Overall positive. One significant problem is that the community doesn’t fully support their schools. A recent failed referendum has left many schools in disrepair and behind in facility and technology resources. Teacher and staff pay has been suppressed for years making it difficult to attract top talent. Residents spend less than state average per student.
All three of my children have attended this school and I feel that their emphasis is on community involvement and not academics. I agree with previous statements about the school's staff and students being close-minded. This school can hardly be considered secular and there is zero tolerance and acceptance of students who do not share the same beliefs. My children have had a few teachers who are dedicated and enthusiastic teachers but I have not found this to be the norm.
We are extremely impressed with the faculty at Franklin. Top notch people who really care about our kids. They seem to work really hard to engage the kids and it shows in both our kids (boys!!) sense of pride in themselves and their work. What a huge upgrade from grade school. Safety at this school is never even a question in our minds. The best school experience in Wheaton so far for our kids.
