Reviews
"I wouldn’t be the person I am if I continued in the public school district of Philadelphia. I went to Franklin towne charter HS. There was no order, no learning, no accountability for bullying, disruptive behavior or violence. It was survival. I left because of the lack of education and bullying. I dropped out of hs for a year. I got into pachs and felt like I mattered. The teachers cared and knew each of us as individuals. They wanted us to succeed and had passion for teaching. College became an easy reality no longer a distant dream. It was a smooth transition and I excelled. The staff filled me with knowledge, drive, morals and hope I couldn’t have gained anywhere else. I come from a disadvantaged neighborhood and family where poverty and violence is the unfortunate norm. Today I am a PSU graduate nurse with a BSN. More importantly a well rounded human being prepared for the world."
"Just a huge reminder: You never know what someone is dealing with behind closed doors, therefore sometimes a kind word, appreciation, and being positive will help; mental illness is real and it does not define anyone, it’s just a major flaw in the brain. Remember, mental health truly does matter. Thank you for reading and have an amazing day."
"I left this school for it's excessive bullying. Particularly "gay bashing" I met some wonderful teachers, but misguided disciplinary staff, unwilling to help resolve "touchy" problems. Class of '12 Things may be different, but I see the same staffing issues"
"Great academics, but annoyingly stringent about uniforms, particularly the shoes. This is quite inconvenient in winter, when one wants to keep their toes warm. Keeping the cooling system on all the time, even in winter ... I have no words."
"My Daughter's 3rd year there so far it's been great!!!"
