    "I went here 13 years ago, but I see a lot of teachers are still there, and a lot of the activities are the same. I had a really hard time at home during my time there, and the teachers were super supportive. They got me involved in activities and college prep programs. I always had someone to talk to when I needed. Yes, there were gang members at school, but if you didn't bother them they didn't bother you- they were just another kid there. It was a special place for a lot of us kids I think. If your kid wants to succeed there they have everything they need to do so."

    "Franklin Classical middle school......Well. Let's just say its not the best school really, and it's not so much a 'Classical' school. Ever Since i was in 6th grade, i hated being there, so much gang-banging, students being picked on (from my experience) and not really much help from teachers. I had very good grades in there, and I consider myself lucky that i didnt fail in that school. Being in there caused me to be depressed, have low self esteem, and wasn't really inspiring. I go to poly now, and i had so much better experience then being in middle school. It's very poor, low budget, and one of the lowest test scoring schools out there. I hated being in that school. But i learned alot. I wish i had a different past, but being poly helped me get through it. There is such a big difference."

    "Franklin is dah bestest skool ever! i mean it mite have a bad rep. Buht they support every single student. Franklin helped me to be accepted to californa academy of math and science. If you want your kid to go the cams you should enroll them into franklin. Everyone that talk bad about that school is haterz!"

    "when friends and family members found out that my son is going to franklin, they were devastated. they told me to get a special transfer to move my kid out from there because they said it is not a good school. well, i am not going to get a special transfer. only one person disagreed. that was my brother in law. he went to franklin and look how he turned out,lol. he's very smart and now is serving his country. so, my point is, i will give franklin a chance regardless of what my friends and family say."
