Franklin Discovery Academy

"Chaotic environment with not enough emphasis on the basics (like reading, writing, and math). The majority of teachers are new every year. Many teachers are unlicensed because the school doesn’t care about employing certified teachers. It’s no wonder because licensed teachers don’t want to make significantly less than a regular district teacher starting pay, AND get NO paid holidays, or benefits. Admin has changed five times in four years. Students are not getting the proper opportunities to learn the basic to be successful beyond elementary school. Many I’ve talked to have had to pay for rotors to get their middle schooler caught up!"

"Amazing school!! Don't let however school digger calculate things sway you--they are totally off-base. Franklin recognizes kids for what they are-developing students--and does not treat them like a test score number like so many other schools. If you are concerned about a test score once per year, maybe this isn't your school, but if you care about your student actually being passionate about learning, experiencing things that most other schools can only dream of, then you really should check out this school. Since there are no other reviews I'm confused how school digger has come up with a score for them. The one star is bogus. I'd give them 6!"

"This school is so accommodating for parents. You choose the start time and end time 7:30-10:30 am and 2:30-5:30 pm. During covid-19 and the upcoming school year 2021 you can choose how many days a week you want them to go and if you want they provide a completely at home program. Starting in 3rd grade student can choose classes that interest them (called engage classes). My son says the teachers do a good job of making things fun. When I suggested my son go to a different school because we moved away he started crying. My son is above grade level in every subject. They teach and group kids at their level not their age. I honestly have nothing bad to say about this school. I think this website is giving them such a horrible rating because their are no reviews. Parents often find franklin after regular schools have failed their children. It might take these children a year or two to catch up with their peers but like I said my son started kindergarten here and is thriving."
