Franklin Academy Charter C

Amazing school! Great teachers and a great IB program!

I have been with Franklin since they first opened and I loved the school although I expected issues being it was a brand new school. Honestly, Dr. Paine and Ms. Bernardo ran the school great. Since last year, and this year, only being a month into the school year, it’s horrible. Parents have been pulling their kids out, teachers are being let go and the school has no leadership. I personally feel that Mrs.Ellis is unquantified. I feel like I’m new to the school, staff is unfriendly and seem unhappy. Academically, those who left are saying their children are below the academic level. I highly suggest the superintendent get involved and get this school back on track and get qualified staff.

This school advertise k-12, at my location we have k-8. Advertise a lot of sports, they do have some but not for all ages. They advertise musical diversity, bring your instrument and you'll play it here, not true at all, even if the student owns the instrument they have no lessons for it. They have just a few selected instruments. Personal keep yelling at the children. One teacher rip off a page from my son's note book while he was writing on it, without asking him for his permission. Not a big deal but I asked her to ask him next time ,out of respect for him. She said she asked him and he didn't say no. You write to the principal and she takes months to get back to you if she does it. At lunch time, they talk to the students through a microphone and yell at the children through it. Some personal here have so much stress that they behave, mean specially to our children, like Mr. Provenzano who yell at my student and then tell lies to the parents about the child behavior to justify his yelling.
Over all, not a good place to send your children.
