Franklin Towne Charter Elementary School Home

LEARNING TODAY LEADING TOMORROW

Great school! My three children have gone to FTCES. The school is amazing and wants all students to succeed to the best of their abilities. The school sets high expectations, which helps all students learn and grow.

Friendly and Responsive Staff!

Friendly and responsive staff. My kids are excelling in every subject and they love going to school. I also know my kids are safe when they walk through the doors and it’s a blessing to have that peace of mind when they aren’t in my care. The principal is hands on, available and the face of the school which I appreciate as a parent. We are lucky to be part of the FTCES Community.

Fantastic Staff!

Franklin Towne is an amazing school with fantastic staff! The staff is very involved, take their role seriously and plan really fun activities for the kids. It is extremely clean and safe. My children absolutely love this school.
