Very bad school, there's no supervision. Students are out of control. Don't send your child to this school.

Honestly I am a student at Frankford I cheer play softball and do a number of extracurricular activities anybody who says that Frankford is a safe haven for gangs cannot be any more wrong there hasn't been any gang activity in all of the four years that I've attended this school. It is true that there is a few cases of violence but what school hasn't seen a fair share of that after all we are still considered children, Frankford has a lot to offer and don't let anybody scare you from coming here after all the school doesn't make the students, the students make the school!

This school is nothing but a garbage dump! It's a haven for gang thugs and the administration has no control at all over this school. This principal, Reginald Fisher, at last report didn't even have his principal's certificate/license!!! He's a sawed-off little runt with a Napoleonic complex. The school is consistently on Pennsylvania's "Persistently Dangerous Schools" list and academically, it's loaded with remedial teaching because the skills are so low there.
