It is my daughters first year in Franklin County High School and she is having a great year so far. She likes the teachers and they like her. The band\chorus teacher is the best I have seen, and I have already raised three boys in this school. I don't hear of to many fights or conflict. Her grade average is 91. So I would like to say thank you to all the teachers. Close Quote

The kids in the school are smarter than the staff that's teaching them, The Assistant principal clearly doesn't like kids in my opinion. My daughter will be forever traumatized from the year she spent there. The state needs to fire everybody from top to bottom and hire staff that will help students learn and become successful adults.
