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.

I've been at Franklin since middle I enjoyed every day up to my senior year which I look back and think to myself that was the smartest decision I've made me in my life Franklin is a Military school design to help you develop as a women or man and also prepare you for the real world.

I have attended Franklin Military Academy for one year and it is an overall great environment. The entire school has a forward thinking and driven mindset. Every student is prepared to do what it takes to grow and become functioning adults and achieve their dreams. The teachers challenge the kids to become more intelligent and responsible students and it pays off in the long run. There is nothing I would change about Franklin except that it is a smaller specialty school and therefore has no sports teams.

Franklin is a small school with a great approach to discipline. There are very strong leaders in this school's administration. The students are kept very involved with field trips and community involvement. Excellence is expected.

There are things in every school that need to be worked on and adjusted. Speaking from a student stand point. This school tries its best to work as a team. At some points it is not as successful as it could be, but it is a pretty decent school; the less you complain the quicker you will get over it.
