I’ve been here for 9 years and graduating this year. I have have the best time here. Everyone is so nice and welcoming. Never see bullying and if there ever is, we have the best counselor to talk to. She’s basically my therapist. I’ve learned so much at this school, made forever friends, and made great memories here. If you’re thinking about sending your kid here, do it.

I just dont understand how caucasian individuals can break so many rules. It clearly states private property and no dogs, but people still break the rules. The school needs to enforce the rules.

I used to go there I didnt have a lot of friends but It was very fine :)I dont really like the lockers when I was little Lol. The teachers who used to work there and the people I used to be friends I miss you all of you :,)I am now in 7 grade its been years!

My brother and I went here years ago. We would’ve had a better time if they did more about BULLYING when we were enrolled there, but when you don’t have money or connections, you’re just an easy target. I’m not the brightest glow stick in the pack, but I know when I’m being bullied. I was sent to the office for a salacious note found in my desk and when I turned it in, everyone thought it was me. Did whoever was in charge understand that it wasn’t me and that I was constantly made to look foolish and disrespected? I was a respectful little girl who was let down by these “educators”. They sat down with my mother and father feeding them a tale of “she’s not gonna amount to anything”, “she needs to apply herself”, alright, well I applied myself to go to high school, I applied myself to go to college, and I APPLIED MYSELF to leave town and forget about constantly being told I couldn’t do anything at 13. I’m 24, and I’m happy. Thanks for letting me prove you all wrong. 🖤HELPFUL HINT: maybe listen to your students if they’re being bullied whether they donated to the school or not. My father, god rest his soul, and my hardworking selfless mother who wanted a good education for her children wouldn’t stand for it. I don’t want any teachers in my inbox trying to shame me, I said what I said and I meant it.Enrolled 1998-2008

Mr.Amrein he goes above and beyond the expectations to help students. He is willing to help any student at any time. We love him.

Great place to visit!

My daughter is the happiest Ive seen here ever.... especially since my traveling saw her in 4 different schools within 2 years..... the teachers and staff are phenomenal. And dont think Ive seen parent participation or support in any school like I see here at Franklin. Its hard to believe this is a public school.... This school is truly worth the 2 bus and 2 train commute..It was a true blessing that her number was a lucky one in that lottery....

Getting my child into this school was like winning the lottery! The parents, the atmosphere, the teachers, the kids the whole shebang. I cannot believe the place is free. Honestly feel so fortunate to have her in here. I am a product of the CPS, and am PROUD to say that my daughter is as well.

One of the best CPS in the city

I like this school and i still go here and im in 7 grade and ms halleron is fun and i like the teachers and mr hernandez is a funny and great security guard and mr jones and ms barrea is cool.

Franklin Fine Arts Center was the best school I ever went to. I cherished my time there and will miss it forever.

I would like to address comments made by user Past Franklin Parent. I am saddened to hear of your negative experience at FFAC. To clarify, entrance into the school rock bands are determined by audition. Arts teachers, outside musicians and myself adjudicate the students using an audition rubric that is given to the students before the audition so they know how they will be evaluated. The scores from all of the judges are averaged, and the students with the highest points are given a spot.All students at FFAC have access to music and are taught to play guitar in 5th grade. Rock band is an after-school program.I encourage any FFAC parents or students with questions or concerns to reach out directly to me. I am always happy to meet with parents.

Very nice place to visit

Best best school ever!
