I have nothing but amazing things to say about this school. My daughters have both attended Franklin Elementary and have the most supportive staff. My oldest daughter has an IEP which the school always maintains, and she has never had any issues with access to services or staff members when she has needed them. She also recently was placed in the highly capable SAIL program, and I know her teachers have had an influence in her getting to that point. The principal knows the kids and parents by name, everyone is helpful and considerate. I adore Franklin. GO PANTHERS!

The teachers that my son has had have made sure to give him work and material that is at his level, and to challenge him personally.

Ms Keller is an amazing principal. She knows every student by name and is very hands on. I've even seen her outside working the crossing stations when staff has been sick.

Franklin has many autism classes and peer inclusion classes, where students are mixed in with autism students.
