Franklin County Public School is a excellent school I am happy that my children go there.
—Submitted by a parent


Posted January 18, 2007

I teach gifted studies at Franklin County Junior High and I must say that this school is by far the best school I have ever taught at. The faculty and staff are helpful to parents, the students are well-behaved and genuinely interested in learning. Anyone looking for a school in this area of the state should take a closer look at Franklin County Schools.

A+ for FJHS. I have had one child attend the Junior High and have all high praises for it. Anyone researching schools in this county, have no fear.
