Excellent school and programs. Teachers that teach for the vocation not a job…read more My issue is the school yard. It's black top. The students need grass. I know mommas complain about grass stains and dirt stains. But it's better than blood stains. Kids get rough. Kids fall down. Black top is unforgiving. There could be traumatic brain injuries and worse. I know the playground doubles as a parking lot for mass and that's where a lot of funds come in but regardless. Total insanity starts in the summer. They have softball leagues playing on the hard black top. Not cabbage ball. Softball. With aluminum bats and gloves. So you have a relatively hard ball coming off a metal bat bouncing off black top. Players diving and sliding on black top. That's a recipe for disaster. If a kid falls on his/her knees that's it. A bum knee for decades and knee replacement eventually. Believe it. It would be idea if the school laid down a layer of a foot or two of soil and grow grass. Sure mommas won't like the grass stains and church goers won't like parking on often times wet grass but still. It's a lot better than leaving your kids running around and falling down on hard blacktop.

We know a lot of the other familys now that they been in the system for so long. So its a comfort thing. There is a new big gym lovingly called "The Deuce" because it is the second version of the bldg. Not cause it looks like a deuce. Like most private schools, it is busting at the seams with attendance. Every year the classes get bigger and the parking and pick up and drop off get crazier. This school's big fund raiser event is called Cajun Fest. Like other schools fairs, they will have a few local favorites like Chee Wees or Molly Ringwalds or Amanda Shaw along with the in-school in-parish band. Then there is all the cookie dough sales, the Worlds Finest Chocolate sale, endless Weekly Reader book fairs and something else I cant remember. Only thing they haven't done that I used to sell was fruit cakes. I actually liked them. But I digress. This school isn't really any better than others I have seen in the same grades, what I am paying for is better parents. Not teachers. Parents. Parent teacher nights here are waiting in line outside the classroom , parking lots are full. Parent teacher nights at a equivalent public school, those are typically empty. Better parents mean better students. Teachers are not supposed to raise your kids, only teach. That is why I break off $800 in my butt every month to ensure they get the best education without distraction, without fear of a crazy pajama wearing momma come in shooting because the teacher sent a note home that her child should take a bath and brush her teeth one day. I do enjoy this school and attending the church and all events like the annual fish fry during lent. Its a great opportunity to reconnect with those we only see in the gym and dropping off in the car pool line. All the teachers and the principal are very nice and somehow, know each of the students name. I seen it and I don't know how they do it. They do care here.

There were a lot of teachers who left. I have seen classroom videos of kids fighting and using language that no Christian school should allow. The teachers do not even seem to be surprised. I attended a couple of parent meetings for trips that had been scheduled and I felt as if no planning had gone into the meeting and it was a waste of my time. I believe the school needs an overhaul from the top down.

She is the head of student life and leadership development. After our first visit, because of her, we knew this was the school for our kids. She immediately took them under her wing and got them involved in student leadership. The administration cares about the kids. The teachers all strive to help our children succeed and excel academically and in life. I was really impressed that the entire staff and student body went on a retreat for two days at the beginning of the school year. It shows they are truly invested in our kids lives. They have grown spiritually more then I could have hoped for. We are proud parents and honored to be part of the Pioneer Family. Ryan and DeAnna Pierce

I worked harder here than I ever have in college. And that includes my current studies in nursing…read moreschool, though they're very nearly tied in beating me senseless with paperwork. The kids were fantastic. Anyone with the brains to get in can and will fit in here. The faculty is great. The administration was such a problem that I can't give more than three stars. In fact, the administration is what I attribute my pure hatred for high school. Unfortunately there's a school board that oversees the principal. So even though there are huge problems with the current (not personal experience with this one, just from having spoken to several members of the faculty) and previous (good riddance!) principal, it's next to impossible to convince the board that there needs to be a change. If the principal is allowed to pick on teachers he or she doesn't like, it affects how the teachers treat each other and thus how the teachers treat the students. This is a very liberal school. I wish the dress code were less strict. The point of going to Franklin was supposed to be having the ability to be yourself, and to learn who you are. Why can't kids in high school shave a mo-hawk or dye their hair blue if they want to?

The parents of said young men also had it in their minds this was the "place to be" for young African American Men. Well that "reputation" has since expired. I've had the not so fortunate pleasure of witnessing 1st hand the reputation & standards of the school spiral out of control. The most recent changing of the guards (administration) is the #1 reason for said displeasure. Additionally, the mismanagement of classrooms, lack of proper student teacher parent communication, unavailability of required supplies... Only adds to the failing reputation. Just not at all what it used to be... I'm saddened to know "St Aug/The Aug" as of late.
