FRANKLIN-McKINLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT IS PREPARING CHILDREN FOR SUCCESS IN SCHOOL AND LIFE
As a Transitional Kindergarten to 8th grade school district, we believe all students should have access to 21st century classrooms and school facilities. In addition, we believe:
-
All children deserve a well-rounded education to become lifelong learners.
-
Learners flourish in a nurturing, safe, and challenging environment.
BUILDING BRIGHT FUTURES INCLUDES SAFE, MODERN CLASSROOMS AND SCHOOL FACILITIES
Our district comprises 16 schools, including 4 Elementary Schools (TK-6), 4 Elementary Schools (K-6), 1 Elementary School (TK-3), 1 Elementary/Middle School (4-8), 2 Elementary/Middle Schools (TK-8), 1 Elementary/Middle School (K-8), and 3 Middle Schools (7-8). These schools are dedicated to preparing our children for success in tomorrow's careers through S.T.E.A.M., project-based learning, youth leadership, and college/career readiness programs.
Ensuring safe and modern classrooms and facilities is crucial for providing a high-quality education. A recent study titled "Designing Classrooms to Maximize Student Achievement" highlights the impact of the physical classroom environment on student success.
