This school is nothing but a garbage dump! It's a haven for gang thugs and the administration has no control at all over this school. This principal, Reginald Fisher, at last report didn't even have his principal's certificate/license!!! He's a sawed-off little runt with a Napoleonic complex. The school is consistently on Pennsylvania's "Persistently Dangerous Schools" list and academically, it's loaded with remedial teaching because the skills are so low there.
I WENT TO FRANKFORD HIGH CLASS OF 1981 AT THAT TIME THE BEST PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOL IN PHILADELPHIA TODAY THIS SCHOOL IS WHAT WE THINK OF BIG CITY SCHOOLS A NIGHTMARE DONT LOOK AT THIS SCHOOL FOR ITS GOOD PAST BUT WHAT IT IS TODAY THIS IS NOT A SCHOOL FOR KIDS JUST A OLD SCHOOL WITH A GREAT PAST THAT HAS HIT ROCK BOTTOM I USE TO WALK PAST THIS SCHOOL NOW I RUN THE ONLY THING IS SAFE IN THIS SCHOOL IS ITS PAST NOT YOUR KIDS PLEASE GO AWAY RUN HELP YOUR KIDS
my godson graduates from frankford this year and i can honestly say that frankford has changed over the years because i graduated from frankford so i know. however my daughter has long pretty hair and wants to attend frankford but im frightend of just letting her catch septa so can someone please help me decide if frankfords the school for her
I graduated Frankford high in 1970, it was a wonderful school then and is to this day. The students and their parents are the problem. Education is free if you chose to work for/towards it
i attend there an i d0nt feel as though i get the best edcucation as posible.frankfonrd is a very roundy an unorganized envirorment.luch is good though
Rules have been enforced so that academics can be taught. Students are better behaved than in recent years.
poor school the staff worry to much about discipline the students than actually teaching them
The new principle has shown to be less than satisfactory. He is constantly making rediculous threats over the loud speaker. As a senior at Frankford high school I believe the previous years shown to be better than this year is turning out to be.
it is not the best school, but ever since i left my chater school i've learned alot more. the public school system is not babying me, so that helps me learn on my own, and if i need help it is always there.
This is my daughters second year in Frankford High. The school works hard to provide the kids with a safe learning facility. The teachers take a great intrest in the children and what they learn.So far I am very pleased with my daughter atending frankford.
