    "It's a wonderful school! Love the principal, teachers and staff. Great curriculums. Kids are very well-behaved and creative. I asked many kids at different grade levels and they all really like the school and they all go there ever since kindergarten. The vivid art works posted on the hallway amplify the fun spirit and energy of the school. Parents are really involved. Friends of Franklin ROCKS! I love their passions on building the school community stronger and focusing on the best interests for the students. This is one of the best chicago public schools I've seen."

    "We pulled our son out of a private montessori school and enrolled to FFAC. At first we were really skeptical about the CPS and the strike we were anticipated; however, we love the school so far. Our son's kindergarten teacher is EXCELLENT! She's very energetic and has a big heart for the kids. The kindergarten class has 2 teachers. That's a plus. The new principal seems very positive and organized. She writes school letter to parents every week. We think this school has full of potentials. The students come from different ethnic backgrounds which makes this school very diverse. The after school program is superb! Also, we heard that the FFAC parents are very involved in the school which makes it so great. So far, there's no negative thing we can see and think of. We are so happy to see our son goes to this awesome school. We live in the south loop and we don't mind to commute this far."

    "My husband and I love Franklin for it's rich arts education and challenging academic curriculum. Attending an elementary school that offers both has given our daughter a wonderful well-rounded education. The school is the smallest of the Chicago Magnet schools with about 250 students total K-8 and is located in a lovely Chicago neigborhood with a coveted green space for outdoor activities. The dedication of the faculty and staff at FFAC on behalf of all the students is impressive and shows in the school's high marks on the ISAT."
