Franklin Academy 5651 Hood Road, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33418

"Franklin Academy is a great school. My daughter is in first grade and been there since kindergarten. She loves her teachers. She is in Mrs. Trimble's class and she is a great teacher. She communicates everything and make sure all her students do well in school. She is a very caring person and whenever my daughter is sick at home, she checks on her. We had the same experience with Mrs. Copeland. She was also a great teacher and very caring as well. The staff in the front are always nice and get to know you, they be knowing who you there for before you even ask. My other daughter will be starting Kindergarten there next year. Over all this is a great school and my daughters will be here until they go to high school. We love this school and in the near future all 4 of our girls will be there at the same time."

"This is my 5th year at Franklin and I love the school and the teachers. One of the best parts of the school is how involved you can be as a parent. They welcome parents on campus to volunteer and be as involved as you like. This allows you to form great relationships with the teachers and staff and stay super informed. In these days where almost everyone is in some sort of carline, it’s hard to meet other parents or have any sense of community. This is where Franklin shines. There are so many ways to be connected and involved. There are so many fun events and on campus activities in which to participate. If you put in the effort, you will have a whole network of parents and staff with the common goal of making your child’s experience amazing. Any school has pros and cons - you have to decide what your priorities are and see if you’re a match. For me, the happy faces of my kids, good grades, nice friends and consistently positive interactions with the other Franklin parents and staff are a match for my family. It’s all what you make of it."

"Our son has been at Franklin since Kindergarten. He is now in grade 4. His teacher is very open, supportive, and communicative. All of them have been. We love the school, staff, and teachers and trust that any issues that arise will be addressed and resolved quickly."

"We have been at Franklin Academy for a year, kindergartener and first grader. We are so grateful for the year that we have had! Both of my children’s teachers are excellent, the staff is lovely, the PTO is on top of everything, and the principal is wonderful! We have been extremely happy switching from the public school system to the charter school system. Every school is not without its issues, but everything that we deem ideal for an elementary school we have here. Special programs like chess in Spanish and art, after school activities like Lego club and cheerleading, parties and volunteering opportunities in the classroom. We have been very happy with our decision to attend Franklin Academy."

"If it wasn’t for the amazing kindergarten experience my daughter had with Mrs.Copeland & the teacher she have now Ms.Robinson this school wouldn’t get no stars from me!! I don’t know if it’s personal or just overall bad management with the teachers their attitudes & inconsistency with how they try to run things is a complete mess , I have had 2 issues last year with a teacher working in the carline one time she pulled my daughter by her shirt I called and they was dishonest with me and stated she’d be resigning on Friday she’s still there needless to say she’s the same teacher who’s constantly finding the smallest issue with me and my kid during drop off and pick up. Today I arrived to get my daughter @3:05 I approached her in the line she dropped her umbrella told me to wait a second just for her to take a picture with a teacher then had the audacity to tell me I had to park and sign my child out not that it’s a issue because I don’t mind following procedures. But the disrespect has to stop I don’t know if it’s overall discrimination with her or what but for the parents (especially the ones of color) pay close attention to the way these teachers interact with your children. Because I don’t play about my kid and I don’t think anyone else do. This type of behavior deserves to be exposed!!! And dealt with."
