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 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

Rules have been enforced so that academics can be taught. Students are better behaved than in recent years.

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.

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.
