GreatSchools Rating
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Our 6 kids all go to Franklin Towne elementary school. Although no school is perfect, but this school has been our's perfect choice. This school is safe and loving. Academically demanding in a good way. I would recommend it to my friends and family to attend this school.

Friendly and responsive staff. My kids are excelling in every subject and they love going to school. I also know my kids are safe when they walk through the doors and it's a blessing to have that peace of mind when they aren't in my care. The principal is hands on, available and the face of the school which I appreciate as a parent. We are lucky to be part of the FTCES Community.
