I love Franklin! An extremely welcoming school and the most accepting teachers. I am someone who needs a lot of assistance academically and I never once felt like I couldn't ask a specific teacher questions. Love the school spirit teachers have also, it makes students want to participate in school activities.
Not the best but not the worst. Although Franklin is very diverse, that does not outweigh all of the improvements needed to make this school a better place. The academic rigor is very poor, little to no AP classes are available apparently to stop discrimination which is bull crap. Franklin praises how they are more diverse and care more for non-white students, which is true, but they do a TERRIBLE job of encouraging their non-white students to get more involved in their ACADEMICS and clubs. Staffs need to hold students accountable and let it be know that they expect more from them so students will feel the need to improve. This school only has 3 counselors and if you don't have a close bond with your counselor, don't expect them to help you out too much. As far as student life, it's what you make of it but from the eyes of a new student when you first walk in you will notice the lack of energy. Spirit sucks, students aren't very bright and it ruins the schools atmosphere in my opinion
I enjoyed my high school years at Franklin High School, due to the students who attended as well as the environment. Most of the staff at Franklin High School are caring and supportive of the students. I have experienced a staff member at Franklin High School who goes out of his way to greet students. He is an extremely cheerful and warm staff member. However, not all staff members are like him, I have seen and heard from my friend's experience with other staff members at Franklin High School. For example, some teachers at Franklin are much more strict and harsh on certain individuals. They are rude to certain individuals. The diversity and the overall environment of Franklin High School fills up the impression that the rude teachers dug.
