Welcome to Franklin Elementary School

Franklin School will be closing at the end of the 2007 - 2008 school year. Join us as we celebrate our history and memories! All the details are on this special page.

Franklin is a wonderful place to learn! Located on the corner of Franklin Road and Orchard Street, it is a building with history and character. Built as a high school in about 1936, the interior boasts high ceilings, wide hallways and broad staircases. It is beautifully decorated and has a warm welcoming feeling that is felt by all who work and visit here.

We serve 410 students in grades kindergarten through six. Around 100 of our students speak another language and are enrolled in the English Language Learners program. All of our students are held to high standards of achievement, and scores on state assessments attest to that. Parents support these high standards and contribute to the success of their children in many ways. Our very highly qualified and dedicated staff includes classroom teachers and many support personnel who treat all children with kindness and respect.

We pride ourselves in providing a school environment that is safe, friendly and focused on achievement. We love visitors and invite you to stop by and check in at the office for a visit anytime!
