ESLRs are Expected School-wide Learning Results. Created by the Franklin High and Toby Johnson Middle School planning team, the ESLRs act as a guide for students, staff and parents in following and assessing a student's progress in school.

Statement of Beliefs
The staff of FHS/TJMS believes that:

• Our nation's destiny lies with our children: their potential is our greatest resource; their development is our highest priority.
• Every student has the right to learn.
• Every student can learn when given the opportunity.
• All students need to be challenged to reach their full potential.
• There is a direct relationship between expectation and achievement.
• The parent is the child's first and most influential teacher.
• Students, educators, parents, and the school community share responsibility for children's education.
