What's interesting about Franklin is that it used to be the go-to school for QA/Magnolia until Ballard was rebuilt. That steady shift then changed the demographics but the school carried on well. <br /><br />Franklin parents, could you help Southpaw out?

I've heard it's a great place, especially for high achieving kids.<br /><br /><br />AND - congrats to all the schools and students who were recognized! It's nice to hear some good news.<br />- southpawAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28765366.post-3762205586945875932013-11-05T10:40:32.382-08:002013-11-05T10:40:32.382-08:00I'm not surprised to see Franklin's AOF on...I'm not surprised to see Franklin's AOF on that list. My kid is a recent graduate and got into every college to which she applied, both public and private, including some selective programs. The irony is that some "locals" think Franklin is a "failing" school with no advanced classes and so send their kids elsewhere. I'm glad to see the school get the recognition it deserves.<br /><br />Franklin MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
