Questions parents ask
How many private schools are there near Franklin?
We count 28 within 12 miles of downtown Franklin. Together they enrolled about 5,792 students in the last federal survey (2023-24). The largest is Franklin Road Academy with 1,020 students.
Which Franklin private schools take EFS?
Tennessee posts its registered schools as a web table that does not allow automated reading. We do not yet mark Tennessee schools as participating; confirm on the state’s list.
Will EFS cover the whole tuition bill?
Sometimes, but do not count on it. EFS pays $7,530 per student for 2026-27, and schools set their own prices. Ask each school for tuition plus fees, then use the calculator on this page to see what is left for you to pay.
