I would like to address the review of an individual that is concerned about large class size. I have had six children in this school and have dropped by the school into the classroom many times over the course of the years. It is not uncommon for there to be several smaller directed groups working with a number of teachers within the setting. Franklin also conducts a very orderly environment which maximizes learning. I hope this parent will reconsider their choice. From untold years of experience with Franklin, I highly recommend this school.
I called Franklin to see if this was a good school to place my boy who will be attending 6th grade next year. Franklin officials stated that the class sizes are 30 students per class and that they have 9 classes of six graders. That's 270 students of 6th graders. Needless to say, I will not be placing my boy in that school. The more students in a class room past 20, the poorer the quality. Everyone knows that.
All 4 of my children have attended Franklin(2 are still there) and I have been very involved there in many aspects, including parent, volunteer, and staff. I have been very satisfied with the educational experiences that my children have had and continue to have. The staff is both professional and kind. They invest a lot of themselves to make school a postive experience for all students. I highly recommend this school to anyone investigating schools to enroll their children in.
