Tuition

The Franklin Special School District accepts out-of-district students on a tuition basis as program capacity is available. The tuition rates are listed below and provide an exceptional value for a high-quality education. In fact, the FSSD per pupil expenditure  (2022 TN Report Card) is #1 in the State at $17,643 compared to the state average of $10,581. 

The per-pupil expenditure measure reflects the total expenditures by the district divided by the number of students enrolled in the district. This provides insight into the size of the investment that districts are making in their students. The FSSD is #1 in the state in teacher-student ratio as well as support services personnel per student.
