History
•
With its cozy New England charm, an abundance of large green spaces, and one of the lowest crime rates in the country, Franklin is a medium-sized community that incorporates everything great about small towns. Providence, RI is only about twenty miles away, and MBTA rail service makes getting from Franklin to Boston –almost twice as far—a relatively easy commute as well. Franklin is home to America’s first public library, and you can still see the original books that were donated by the town’s namesake: none other than Benjamin Franklin.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
