Benjamin Franklin Elementary School Reviews

My child went to this school for 3 years and we ended up pulling him out. The school is overcrowded and the teachers are visibly stressed out. The teachers that we came in contact with did not like it when a parent had any questions or concerns. It appeared that they had their guard up and were very defensive. They way they talked to the students was sarcastic and this was in front of the parents. My child for the 3rd grade would have been in the class room with 34+ other students. All the school seemed to care about was their test scores. My child in the 2nd grade was doing an hour and a half of nightly homeworks also. We moved up to the area because of the schools test scores and now we are leaving because we no longer have our child at this school. My son did get good grades at the school but he was always stressed out. Since my son has left he has excelled better and is now a grade level ahead.
