Summary

Franklin Academy Pembroke Pines is a large public charter school in Pembroke Pines, FL, serving 1,367 students in grades K-8 and part of the Broward district.

Franklin Academy stands out for its exceptional academic performance, especially in advanced middle school coursework. In the 2025-2026 school year, 100% of students were proficient in Algebra 1, and 98% were proficient in Geometry and Biology 1 End-of-Course exams—rates far above district and state averages. This is a key advantage over nearby K-5 schools like Silver Shores Elementary School and Dolphin Bay Elementary School, which cannot offer such advanced courses. The school also shows strong, consistent performance across all grades in English Language Arts and Math, with proficiency rates well above the district and state. While its state ranking has slightly declined from a peak in 2018-2019, it remains a high-performing school, earning a 4-star rating and ranking in the 86th percentile statewide.

Franklin Academy operates with notable efficiency. Its per-student spending of $10,374 is significantly lower than many nearby schools, such as Silver Lakes Elementary School, which spends $21,921 per student but ranks lower academically. The school also has a higher student-teacher ratio of 19.2:1, yet still achieves top-tier results. One area to watch is chronic absenteeism, which has risen to 22.9% in 2023-2024, though this is still better than the district average. For parents seeking a school that offers advanced middle school options and strong academic outcomes with efficient resource use, Franklin Academy is a compelling choice compared to other area schools like Somerset Academy or The Pembroke Pines Florida.

Open Quote Como bien decimos en Argentina “no se queje si no se queja”
Cuando recibimos la noticia de que nuestro hijo había salido sorteado en la lotería de Franklin y de acuerdo con el ranking de la institución nos alegramos mucho. Estábamos muy entusiasmados con el colegio, con el ranking y con lo que se veía de afuera.
Sinceramente hemos tenido una experiencia desastrosa en Franklin por diferentes razones, mi hijo tiene un retraso en el lenguaje, speech delay, speech language impairment, o en español trastorno especifico del lenguaje. Solamente en Franklin confeccionaron un programa 504 que nada tiene que ver con su problema del leguaje. Nos hemos sentido en todo momento totalmente desamparados, sin seguimiento, sin apoyo y con el agravante de ver salir a nuestro hijo triste cada jornada. Siempre un problema distinto, que un compañero lo molestaba, que le pegaban, lo empujaban y se golpeaba, se reían de él, no querían jugar con él, etc. Todos los días viendo a nuestro hijo salir triste del establecimiento y sin que medie ninguna sanción para ninguno de los alumnos o pedirle a nuestro hijo que hiciera algo distinto.
Al momento de comunicar que decidimos retirar a nuestro hijo del colegio, a los cinco minutos me llego un correo para que firme la salida. ¿Estaban esperando que tomáramos la decisión? Sera cierto que los charters no quieren problemas con chicos que tienen dificultad? ¿Esto puede perjudicarlos en el ranking? Son preguntas sin respuesta, pero espero que quien lea se las haga antes de aceptar la propuesta de esta institución.
Completamos la salida en tiempo récord, nadie se ha comunicado con nosotros para debatir la razón. Algunas de las razones que he mencionado, falta de empatía, falta de acomodaciones especiales con respecto al lenguaje, varias situaciones de bullying, falta de flexibilidad para facilitarnos cualquier pedido, falta de cuidado, falta de calidez humana, falta de comunicación relevante, falta de seguimiento de la evolución de los alumnos. Franklin se jacta de buena comunicación y llevan el Inbox o sms con sorteos, donaciones, etc. Pero cuando se trata de algo importante no lo comunican. Son desorganizados, burocráticos e inflexibles.
Recuerdo un tardy que le puso la directora de Operaciones a mi esposa a los gritos. Es una señora detestable, mal aprendida, la he saludado varias veces, ha bajado la vista sin responder al saludo. Si no saluda a un adulto y le grita a un adulto, imagínense el amor que puede tener por los niños. Hay gente que definitivamente debería trabajar en una fábrica y no tener la obligación de ver gente, y mucho menos cuando se trata de educar, de dar el ejemplo, de ser un modelo a seguir.
En pocas palabras, no recomiendo al colegio, ni la curricula académica, ni la calidad humana. De hecho, carecen de calidad humana, de hospitalidad, de cariño, amor, vocación, pasión, etc.
Cualquier duda o consulta me encuentran todas las redes sociales con mi nombre y apellido. Sinceramente espero que, a la hora de elegir, piensen en que sus hijos pasan mas horas dentro del colegio que en vuestra propia casa.
Atte.
