Franklin is a great school. We had a good experience for the whole family. The teachers are caring and love the kids. The community is the best part of the school. Principal Melissa Roy-Woods has built an outstanding team of teachers, and the parent community has stepped in to fill gaps in public funding by proving programs and experiences to enrich the curriculum. No school could ask for a more dedicated leader. Our family wants to say thank you to everyone at the school.
