Franklin Accelerated Academy - Brimhall Campus 4949 East Southern Avenue, Mesa, AZ 85206

"The GOOD: They have a standardized way that works 10/10 school. The BAD: The teacher Ms Kotcher never smiled even the first time I met her. Furthermore, she didnt show for meet the teacher. The UGLY: My daughter states she picks on a little girl named Taylor every time they practice cursive saying dont do that loopy loop "E" Taylor in front of the whole class. She was absolutely in tears everyday. She says Ms. Kotcher just smiles for answering the phones but is never sincere in class. She is an A+ Student who has always loved school. When we addressed with kind Mr Abrams he dismissed my complaints and stated I could talk to the teacher. Last conversation she got hostile so thats not going to work. He refused to change her teacher. Beware of the 6th grade teacher Ms. Kotcher! Board Complaint to be written."

"This is the best Elementary/Junior High School in the Mesa area. One of the best in the Phoenix area. Mrs. DeJesus has been a a huge influence to my daughters. She always goes above and beyond the call of duty. Of course, the Winter and Spring sings are so much fun. The olympics, girls on the run, the teachers, choir, everything is top notch. My family will forever be in debt to the city of Mesa and the taxpayers for this gem."

"There is an excellent Principal at this school. Mr. Abrams truly cares about the school and the children. He demonstrates excellence balance of the two. My children went to this school from their elementary school feeder (Franklin at Brimhall Elementary) and have appreciated the education my children have received here. Some of the teachers here are best you can get. It's strict but the children learn as there are few discipline issues in this school and bullying is not tolerated. No school is perfect but this one is pretty close."

"Great school, amazing staff, and fun environment. They really prepared me and my older brother for high school allowing us to be a grade ahead. "General" science and advanced science were honestly the same thing, if you are an 8th grader reading this just take biology for ninth grade. You could do the same for math i guess I mean ninth year algebra I barely challenged any of the kids who were once in general math of eighth grade. If you are an organized person then totally apply for honors biology it's a breeze. I wouldn't say so for honors geometry though but it's up to you."

"Excellent A+ rated School, Great involved Teachers & support staff. Good Teacher to student ratio. Lots of programs in this school. Great big out door areas with lots of activities. Swimming pools, Baseball field, Ect.. Great safe school. Very close to freeway for easy access. Neighborhood safer than most of Mesa."
