I have one child in this school who started in kindergarten and will finish with 5th grade next year. Her experience in in Franklin Elementary has been nothing but positive. Teachers and staff display a genuine care in the education of their students, and often take the time to go the extra mile. Also, additional programs (such as TLC and ALP) are outstanding. I feel fortunate to have my child in this school.

I have one child in this school. From what I have seen in her academics, the teachers take a personal interest in the child's education and it shows. My daughter has discovered the wonderful world of reading and she loves it. I don't think that would have happened if it was not for the teachers in this school.
