Didn't think this school is still around, I'd figured it be condemned due to my experience there during my last years of my childhood. I'll tell you from my experience, this is not a school you would want your child to go to, the entire staff is rude, useless and unhelpful, both in the academic aspect and social aspect. As was stated before, they have a major problem on dealing with social issues and conflicts, one of the major one's is bullying. I never felt more abused and helpless as a student than my time there in Franklin. Dealing with your peers is one thing, but being pushed around by the staff in that school, it's very questionable, especially for the profession that they're being hired for. I'm surprised that the former principal for Franklin Elementary, Toni Westermann, was able to retire, let alone get away with discrimination. Hopefully the current principal for Franklin Elementary, Mrs. Caruthers is more civilized and more communicative towards students that need the help and does a better job than her predecessor. Another surprise for me is that Mrs. Hutto is still there, especially since she was just as discriminating if not more than Westermann. Honestly, the only way your child can thrive through this school in both the academic and social aspect, is if you the parent, have a relationship/connection with the staff that work there. If you don't, well good luck to your child. As far as putting it in a nushell, let's just say your child is well on his/her own without the help or support of the so-called "professional" staff that work there.
