Open Quote 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

Open 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.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
