    "um the school is not that bad, its not the best school and it could uses some work. The teachers need to start paying attention to students. Students don't want to learn because the teachers aren't paying any attention to them. Teachers assign work, and don't care if the student understands it or not. All teachers focus on is giving alot of work and failing kids.Teachers need to spend less time assigning homework, but more time on their students. More after school hours."

    "My son is currently attending this school. I'm really impressed with the faculty and the administration's passion in making the school a safer place. They are giving more emphasis on anti-bullying and anti drugs/gang awareness. My son attends mostly honors classes and he is definitely enjoying it, it's a bit of a challenge but it's a good preparation for college. He also attends several after school clubs. Keep it up FHS!"

    "I have two children in FHS and I am very pleased with the school. Franklin offers so much to the students. My children participate in Orchestra, guitar ensemble, wrestling, swimming, cross country, and various clubs. The administration and faculty are always willing to hear and address my concerns and are very good at communicating via phone and/or e-mail. All of the teachers have ofice hours after school, at least one day per week. Mr. and Mrs. Spinella the heads of the orchestra and guitar ensemble are excellent teachers and the kids love them. They go above and beyond and as a result the music dept has won many honors and competitions. My daughter has gone to the national competition in Disney and Hershey, P.A. and she is going to Disney again this Spring and her brother is joining her this year as part of the guitar ensemble. The coaches are also dedicated and there is great team spirit, especially on the swim team. The student diversity is also great. The campus is also beautiful!No school is perfect and every school has its issues and Franklin is no exception. However, if a child is willing to apply him or herself and if the parents are involved, a child can succeeed."

    "As an alumni of FHS, I have to say this school is exceptional. The curriculum prepared me for college and the teachers inspired me to be a teacher as well. The safety and discipline were amazing with a lot of securiy guards that prevent issues from happening and classroom control was outstanding. Offering Latin was an affective tool for taking the SAT's and with the extensive amount of extra curricular activities offered, every student can find something to join. The principal assignments of one per grade that stayed with you until graduation was a great idea. It made it seem like the principal could get to know you with such a large population of students, I can't really comment on parent involvement. I know the activities I was involved wit, if parent help was needed, they got it. Great school choice!"
