Franklin Regional Senior High School

worst school in america. the only way to fit in is that you live in a huge house and make over $250,000. Don't let your kids deal with the rich kids they will harass them til they can't take it no more. The atheletes and the cheerleaders get treated like gold from teachers and students while everyone else is treated like dirt. stay away from this school.

Everyone moves here because of the school district. the students here are bullies! football team & cheerleaders get special treatment. There are cliques who bully everyone and the school officer does nothing. these students are exempt from punishment. moving here think again. School needs administrators who do there job! Moving away because of the bullying problem. And yes Franklin Regional ther most definately is a problem with BULLYS!!!!!

Terrible Principals, My son has been bullied over and over because he is new and quiet, we are moving from this district

Poor for new students entering the district, if you are an outsider coming in, that is how you are treated, the children, parents and teachers are rude, unless you live in a huge home. My daughter is now being bullied mentally by some of the other girls, talking about her, laughing at her, etc.... Very bad for her self esteem, we are looking to sell our home and move, I wont have my children treated this way. We are a middle income family, friendly and clean, we have a new car, but those things are not good enough for the snobs that live here

Franklin has great teachers!!The people in the office though aren't very caring and think of themselves.We have great principals and of course there are good students and bad students but you learn to accept it because it's like that at every school.

Good HS. Some teachers are fantastic. The French programs is the best in Foreign languages. Too much emphasis on sports though.

In the Honors and Advanced Placement tracks, I saw class mates go on to Harvard, Brown, Princeton, University of Pennsylvania, University of Pittsburgh Honors, and other great, and selective, schools like Grove City. If you are intelligent, you will do very well at FR and beyond.

Okay. As a senior at the high school, I think I can clear up some issues. The school IS undoubtedly beneficial to more intelligent students, but makes long strides in accommodating all levels of ability. Parental involvement IS encouraged, but often in a monetary sense; stay-at-home moms often fill the ranks of the PTO, leaving some parents out in the cold. Pressure to succeed ABSOLUTELY exists; however, it is for this reason that so many graduates DO succeed. The high school is home to many incredible teachers; however, poor-quality teachers can also be found. It's anyone's guess whether or not the fact that the 'better' teachers often teach honors- and AP- level classes is a coincidence. The most important thing to remember is that students reap what they sow. Those that use the resources to their benefit often succeed; those that are content to float often languish.

Quality of academic programs is excellent Arts are alive and thriving at FR. Parent involvement mostly in sports, arts, etc. Great school for super smart kids and kids with problems as well; if yours is an average or low average kid, teachers seem to ignore them unless parents get involved with teachers. Counselors are NOT good, unless you have a brainiac for a child; otherwise, you'll need to do the college application leg work yourself. After all, who knows the child (student) better than his parents?
