Called the school on Monday to ask what happened.. the person that answered the phone was extremely rude and said the school has nothing to do with SAT testing. His name is Carlos Romero. Shame on you and shame on Franklin High School!!!

This school has come a long way from where it was about ten years ago. The administration is…read morealways walking around the hallways, helping me students that are lost in this gigantic campus. They are very personable and easy to talk to. I can tell teachers really care about and motivate the students in different ways. The principal has an annual Christmas raffle where all students have the chance of winning a variety of prizes from candy bars, gift cards to Target or In N Out, to bicycles and skateboards. The students really enjoy having their name called on the intercom to report to the office and collect their prize. Mr. Roskam (principal) makes it fun for students to love learning!!!

For being a STEAM Magnet school (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), the math…read moreis lacking. My son and his friends who came from the same elementary school repeatedly noted that the subjects covered in 6th-grade math class were a repeat of things they had previously learned. There is no accommodation for students who need to be challenged more in mathematics. The school has cut its music program after firing the music teacher, and they have yet to find a replacement. They still have art classes, but music apparently isn't important enough, even though they should focus on "Arts" as a STEAM school. The current principal, Dr. Salazar, is quite unresponsive and has yet to follow up on concerns regarding our younger son, despite my wife and I reaching out both in person and via email. The staff is not friendly and lacks empathy. When calling in, they act as if they are trying to get off the phone as quickly as possible. One of the counselors, Ms. Barajas, is also unresponsive; an email from the last academic school year was finally addressed after the issue was escalated and someone with more authority made the requested change. If you are considering this school, be sure to supplement your child's math education with outside tutoring; otherwise, they may fall behind. Do not expect prompt responses to any concerns without escalating matters. They do offer unique electives (graphic design, game design, film appreciation, and robotics, to name a few), though these options are being reduced annually. This was a major point of attraction when we selected the school, but the variety of electives may be so diminished by the time your child enrolls that it will be no different than any other middle school.

I went here from second grade all the way till my final 8th grade year. It's easy as a parent to…read moresay " I love this school and so do my kids" heck that's what my mother used to say. Though that's not always true, to say the least teachers let you see what they want you to see. I'm an adult now, a high school graduate, and a college student working towards a teaching degree. Now let me tell you, the staff here is the worst staff I have ever encountered in my life, they do not care about the students grades and they certainly do not care about the health or well being of these students either (minus a select few). I was constantly told throughout my years "if you don't understand leave my class" the impact that statement alone has on a young persons mind is beyond what my education was worth. This school without a doubt is the reason I went into high school with the mindset that teachers will not help you, don't care, and if I don't understand something I should give up because I never will. Please do not send your children here find somewhere that has a decent staff, or at least a empathetic one.

When my son was seriously injured on campus (during a prior school year) there was no show of concern for his well-being. His recovery was months long and the principal did not reach out nor return my calls. When I went in the office to speak with her, I was told she was unavailable and in a meeting. Sadly, her office door was wide open and she was sitting in there alone not looking occupied whatsoever. There is heavy emphasis placed on the magnet program but unfortunately, not all students are given the same opportunities or attention. Our family learned that over the years. My three children attended this school. My daughter's 4th grade teacher lacked emotional intelligence as did the school psychologist. The teacher made me wait in the hall 20 minutes for our scheduled teacher/parent conference. She took a personal call during our session which cut into my time. She seemed to be screaming on the phone in a foreign language so I don't know what was being said but the tone was very uncomfortable/inappropriate. She was late and ended early not allowing me my allotted time. She did make time to accuse me of not having my kid study enough. The psychologist insulted me and suggested my child was below grade level because I worked until 7:00 pm and served dinner too late. She proceeded to ask me personal questions about my job and my educational background. It felt like an interrogation. My son's 5th grade teacher mocked my son for clearing his throat too often. She was a bully and kids fed off this behavior. There is no accountability from their end and no supportive services were offered to help enrich my children's education. Any deficiencies were blamed on me, the parent. Anti-bullying rules are not enforced. Major concern.

I want to thank them both, especially Miss Miller who helped my youngest gained self confidence and believe in herself. She is the coolest and funniest teacher.

The teachers at Fusion were so encouraging, compassionate, and creative, and admin gives them the flexibility to change things up to meet the student's needs. They work with kids with learning differences as well as with the gifted--in the case of my child, he is a combination of both! Classes are held 1:1, which is ideal for some kids, but certainly not for everyone. Communication with parents is consistent (daily). Staff is friendly, positive, and personal. In addition, the physical environment is soothing and beautiful. Their graduation ceremony was the most personalized and meaningful one I have ever attended. The only drawbacks are that there is no play yard, though they are able to walk to a nearby park, and the school is small, so the social interactions are naturally a bit limited. However, the staff works hard to facilitate socializing. If you are seeking a school that is nothing like traditional school, check out Fusion!

Principals and yard staff are so obviously biased about punishing kids it's funny. The school does educate kids on academics but not to ever use a single ounce of their brain to clean up after themself. Some examples: 1. Bathroom had the fattest turd in it that a snobby kid left to not flush 2. Little gremlin kids slob around all the lunch tables I swear to whatever god is up there these kids cannot fathom how to actually be hygienic and keep the campus clean. Also, the school kind of looks like a prison. Theres barely any grass most of the campus is just asphalt it's so depressing. My favorite experiences were Science School (which you have to wait the entire time you are at the school for) and the teachers that are chill. To a student currently attending this school, I hope you enjoy or enjoyed pre-k to 3rd grade because everything in your life will crumble down to dust before meaninglessly blowing away into the wind. Kids will discover trends or stereotypes one way or another. And to the teachers that are actually chill I wish you the best in everything that comes to this school.
