I love that this school has many after school activities. Ballroom,ballet,violin,keyboard,band,choir,musicals,legos,zumba,talent show,tennis,football,basketball, and many others. I think after school activities are very important in a childs education.With all the school budget cuts most of our teachers volunteer their time to make all this possible. Teachers here take their teaching to the next level with their students.
The Principal does an excellent job with his school and staff. The Teachers at Ben Franklin are awesome, especially my sons' 1st grade teacher Mr. Munksgard. They have alot of extracurricular activites for all grades. From what I have seen, there is alot of parent involvement. Ben Franklin is on top with their discipline and I know my son is safe when in school. I do not know why they were given lower marks on alot of these topics. Go Chargers!
As a parent of two kids that attend Benjarmin Franklin. I can only say How much this school has done for my kids.My childern love the school,teacher are great, & there activities in the school are magnificent. And the afterschool programs are wonderful. You can see how much the teacher, staff & the parents that help in the school care for all this kids. Want to also thank Mrs. Klein for every thing she does for the kids in this school highlly recommend this school to any parent.
My daughter has been at Benjamin Franklin for three years and we are very please with it. Benjamin Franklin has dedicated teachers that care for thair students. The school also offers different after school activities such band, choir, cheerleading, chess, theater,flag football , french club, dance(ballet).
I Love this school! The teachers are GREAT!! Everyone really cares and gets involved. Mr. Bugg (principal) cares about the school, students and teachers.
What a great group of dedicated teachers we have who take a heartfelt interest in our children. Outstanding !
As a parent of a kindergartner I try to be as involved as possible.It did not take long to see what a hassle it can be...to my horror. I understand that it is a new school so comittees and such are also young but people do not seem to be open to help and change. People need to understand that anything to do with the school is solely for our children.
