Franklin Forest Elementary School

Amazing school. Great teachers and administration. Could not be happier.

No questions here. Great school. Love the speech program and all the teachers. My daughter is in K and will attend to 5th grade. And my son will be starting preK there soon

This school is run like a prison. They want you to drop your child off at 7:30 and not come back until 2:30. They do not feel they are helping you educate your child, they feel they are in charge of their education and would prefer no input from parents. They also feel they have the power to keep you away from your child's class and from their teachers. If you want to be involved in your child's school life this is not the school for you. Also if you would like to know what is happening at the school or get in depth communication from the teachers and administration this is not the school for you. If your child's situation is even a little outside the box, don't expect them to bend even a little to help. Go private school or HillCrest if you are in Lagrange.

FFE makes a great first impression but does not follow through. Parental involvement is discouraged, and in fact no parents are allowed on field trips at all, even to meet them. They also have a huge issue with bullying that is not handled appropriately or ethically. It seems they just want to sweep it under the rug. I also feel the kids are not supervised properly in the halls, bathrooms or at recess and that leads to these situations. The teachers do not even sit with their classes at lunch and frequently leave the classrooms unsupervised. The PTO is a joke and unsupported. Our kids attended less than a year and we ended up withdrawing and homeschooling them. Something I never thought I would do, but the kids are 100% happier and so are we. Our experience here was a huge dissappointment.
