Benjamin Franklin Middle School

Posted: August 6, 2026

My son has been in this middle school since 6th grade when the change for new leadership happened a few years ago. It has been great for my son. He has excelling in his academic curriculum and really enjoying the honors program where he has made lots of friends. Now in 8th grade, he is able to take advanced academic classes and other Highschool credit classes. He also has a lot of options with extra curricular activities and has met some of the best mentors while participating in these activities. Over all, I love the environment but would welcome more family engagement, I think this aspect of the school is moving towards the right direction though.

We absolutely love Benjamin Franklin. Last year brought a change of leadership that has re-energized the staff. Significant effort has been placed on supporting students, academic excellence, and zero tolerance for conduct violations. My child is in the honors program and has excelled under the more challenging curriculum. He has a caring, direct relationship with each of his teachers, and because of this he is motivated to succeed. Staff is easy to access with questions. Your child can begin to earn high school credits in middle school. It is easy to volunteer and help at various events after school. Security is tight during the day and the security team takes this very seriously. By attending Benjamin Franklin, I feel my son will be well-prepared to enter the IB Honors program in high school. If you are seeking a challenging curriculum where students are allowed to ask questions, be themselves, make good friends and grow as people, I would encourage you to take a look at Benjamin Franklin.

The current leadership is atrocious, teachers and counselors beware, these poor students, don't stand a chance of learning with the poor excuse for a principle.

The staff don’t bother answering phone calls. You will be stuck on hold for a long time. Typical government employees.

Current student since-2015

Well this school has very good and hard working teachers but the view of the school is not very pleasing its a bit old.
I think they should repair it and make it more new. But other than that the school is great and if You're a hard working student you will succeed in this school.

This school is great! It is such a friendly environment. My daughter is attending here and she has a good group of friends. There is always something going on to keep the students engaged in activities, but they have to get involved. There is a lot of learning going on in the Pre-AP classes and the teachers are wonderful (minus about 5). The principal and assistant principal's work well together to solve problems in a timely manner and show strong school leadership. There is no school without problems, and this administration keeps the school safe. Since the student body consits of 945 students, more parent involvement is needed. Overall - I am very pleased with the Franklin Falcolns!

the principal is great. Some teachers are just wonderful, but the fact of the matter is, there just is'nt enough. The students can be just as rude as the teachers. Don't get me wrong, there is good students. Next,year I'm going to dealey. I'm gonna miss some things, but I am happy to leave.

My daughter attends here and I'm grateful that it is her 8th grade year. She has been exposed to far more ridiculous and childish behavior from the TEACHERS than I ever thought possible. A couple of the teachers care more about meeting the children, and that's what they are, CHILDREN, on a somewhat equal level and to do that the teachers feel it necessary to use foul language, partake in middle school gossip and, most upsetting to me is that they do not use proper grammar and English when communicating with the students. Aren't they supposed to be a role models and lead by example? What happened to the importance of spelling correctly and using the correct words in a sentence? It's insulting to parents like myself that have to correct the teacher who is supposed to be educating our children. Granted, my daughter has been accepted by most students and she loves the friends that she has made. However, I feel that there needs to be more parental influence and supervision in their children's lives. I'm shocked by how many of my daughter's friends get away with the raunchiest clothes and the least amount of supervision.

This school is the worse school ever. They have some very horrible teachers, sometimes you wonder who the adults are. Some of the teachers act just like kids. Instead of kids bullying each other the teachers are the bullies at this school. They do have so good teachers there, but not very many. I would not recommend this school to anyone. The teachers make comments to students that is very disrespectful, and will embarrass students in front of other students, and think it is ok. They do have gangs, and drugs in this school. The teachers are not held accountable for their actions. What ever happen to the good schools with good teachers that care about the kids.

I am a former student at Benjamin Franklin Its an average school and is getting better by the year the teachers I had were great cause they always stayed on us and were strict and always knew we could go places wherever the school focuses a lot on the arts dancing singing art basketball track baseball all that and I think Benjamin Franklin Is One Of the best schools you could go to

Too much violence in this school. There are gangs. Boys threaten to jump others in so they can bully other unsuspecting kids. Too many unskilled & unqualified teachers. The Principal got a promotion to another school and now the teachers are left like chickens without their heads walking around. The kids in this school are extremely disrespectful and too busy with hooking up, looking fresh or skipping classes in plain sight of the staff to get an education. DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILDREN HERE. Concerned parent of two in this school.

Benjamin Franklin Middle School went down hill in 2009. Other students treat other students disrespectful, students don't pay attention in school, and i heard that other students on cheated in the Taks test 2009- 2010. 2009 - 2010 WAS THE WROST SCHOOL YEAR EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
