[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are base school Franklin, but have DC1 in the Carson Center. So I can't speak from first hand knowledge. But, both the Franklin kids and parents in our neighborhood love the school, and say many of the things as PP: despite being a large school, it has a nurturing, community feeling and does a great job at making each student feel like an individual.

In fact, DC2 is looking at going LLIV Franklin next year instead of Carson Center (if there is still a choice). Maybe a Franklin parent can help me out. [b]Franklin's website says[/b] they have about 120 students a grade (240 total) in Level 4. The school board's official tally says there are only 20 per grade that a Level 4 qualified. Which number is right? 120 per grade would be great, but seems unlikely given the number of Franklin zoned kids at Carson.    Is Franklin taking kids who are LII & LIII qualified, using them to fill out an LLIV team, and counting them as level IV[/quote]

Was looking for this data on the website but didn't see it -- would you mind providing a link?  TIA![/quote]

Hopefully this works. It says 28% of tHe school (235 kids total)  is level IV.  That seems way off with so many kids at Carson. [/quote]

Where was this posted on Franklin's website?  It looks to be from the school profile, which is not regulated by the school.  I only point this out because your original post reads as though Franklin is skewing data, but I couldn't find anything on their website to support that.

I'm guessing that these numbers are off because "Student Membership" and "Enrollment" likely mean different things.  I'm not positive, but it seems as though "Student Membership" refers to students who are zoned for this school and "Enrollment" encompasses the number of students who actually attend the school.

If you're curious about the numbers, I suggest emailing the school's Director of Student Services and ask.  You can also ask if the classes are exclusively Level IV students or if others are included as well.  This should provide you with the most up-to-date and accurate data.[/quote]
