Oh how much i hated coming to this school sometimes you seriously get some teachers that actually care and the rest they Just worry about the bad kids and forget about the good ones , its always so unorganized i remember my senior year having to STAY IN DETENTION also know as ALC class because they didn't have my schedule and didn't know where to put me,why I'm in punishment class because you are unorganized. It is so beautiful now with remodeling but i wouldn't be that fooled from the looks your still in the east side and have to put up with all the drama and ghetto people who cause problems for you and some that wanna disturb the class if you decide to come here get into IB or TLC where you get teachers that care and students to actually motivated to graduate and want to go to college, i wish i would have i regret it ever since. read more

My children are still doing well in the Ib program but I needed to speak to an Assistant Principal regarding an issue. I spoke to Mr. Taylor (I believe is his name) and was passed over to Ms. Gayle. She wasn't professional at all, actually quite rude! Spoke with a negative attitude and shouldn't be working around children because she comes off very COLD, not caring or sympathetic at all! Too bad they don't appreciate the good kids that go there! If my children didn't already have good friends there we would be off to a better school! Wouldn't recommend going there for 6-8th grade either, when my child finished 8th grade they didn't get to go to Great America or really do anything special for the 8th graders at all. Just a short pathetic ceremony that the staff appeared bored at and ready to go home! Too bad, I wanted to like this school!!! read more

Ugh if I could give this school a negative I would. Not sure what my parents were thinking putting me in this high school, but that is a story for another time. Rough taking a child out of private school and throwing them into getto. That is what happened to me. Don't get me wrong I meet great people and still have great relationships with some of my friends. The teachers were rude, they made as much fun at kids who had social or mental or physical issues as much as the teenagers did. If you were not one of their pets they did not care if you passed or failed. They helped pass rumors about others. Sad sad place. The counselors were a joke, I graduated in 1993 and one told me why are you so worried about graduating your half Mexican you will just get pregnant and have babies. Really. Graduation time came and the counsel who was working with me lost some of my credit which by the way I was over credits and spending half of my time at SJ Delta College so it took them half of graduation day to get my credits right. This place is a joke I will not send my child here or even my dog. Those teachers can rott in hell as far as I care. read more

fucking horrible school. They boast about their IB program, yet the program itself lacks any real depth at Franklin. Internationally it's great, but the IB program at franklin is absolute shit. There is a sharp divide between regulars and IB kids. The IB kids are condescending pricks. They make themselves feel so special by believeing that being in the IB program will prepare them for college. In fact, most kids coming out of the IB program are completely illiterate in the sciences and math. They neglect Physics. Even if they offered it, it would only be at the SL level. They only offer SL math which is equivalent to precalculus. Taking calculus as a regular is much better. There are many flaws with the program and the counselors are absolute shit for being so selective for a crappy program. read more
