Franklin County School serves pre-kindergarten through 12th grade at 1250 Highway 98 in unincorporated Franklin County, Florida, United States. It is 2 miles (3.2 km) away from the center of Eastpoint.[2] The school has an Eastpoint postal address, though it is not in the Eastpoint census-designated place.[3]
It is a part of the Franklin County School District.[4]
History
The school was established in 2007,[5] as a consolidation of schools in Apalachicola, Carrabelle, and Eastpoint. The Florida Legislature established a special facilities fund for school districts trying to build new schools but which do not have access to the necessary funds; this fund was used to build Franklin County School.[2]
The school opened in 2008.[6]
Transportation
In 2007 the district leadership anticipated that most students would travel to and from the school on a school bus, a characteristic which meant students who previously traveled to the pre-consolidation schools on bicycles or other means would no longer do so.[2]
Athletics
The school's teams compete as the Seahawks.[7]
