Franklin Middle School is the middle school that Alex, Manny, Luke and Lily all attended.
Appearances[]
We first see the school in the season 2 episode The Musical Man when Cam is given the task of directing a play. the end of season 2 (See You Next Fall) when Alex graduates. The final time we see Franklin Middle School is in season 9 (Daddy Issues) when Mitch and Cam are called into the school to speak with Lily’s teacher.
Timeline[]
Since Alex is 2 years older than Luke and Manny, and graduated from middle school in season 2 (2011), she presumably began attended the school in the fall of 2008.
Although it is never shown, we assume Luke and Manny began middle school at the end of season 1 (2010) since we see them beginning 5th grade in the episode Run for Your Wife. We also never see them graduate, but it can be assume that this happens near the end of season 4 (2013) as at the start of season 5 (First Days, 2013) they are seen beginning their first day of high school.
At the end of season 8 (The Graduates, 2017) Lily is recognized as a gifted child. She given the chance to skip a grade and move on straight to middle school. Both she and her parents accept the offer. She most probably begins attending at the start of season 9, however we never actually see her attending the school. Lily would have graduated from Franklin Middle in the summer of 2020, but her family move to Missouri before this time. Due to her lack of character development, we do not hear anything about this.
Future[]
If Joe were to also attend Franklin Middle School, he would most probably begin in the fall on 2023. This would have been at the start of season 15 if the show had not ended. He would then have graduated in 2026 (at the end of “season 17”). This is all assuming he remains living in the same area and does not get kept behind a grade or pulled ahead like Lily was.
