Franklin Academic Decathlon has seen terrific improvement in every year since their first time advancing to state in 2010. Their first major breakthrough was at the November 2010 LAUSD scrimmage, where they scored over 30,000 points on the seven written tests to place third overall, just ahead of recent national champion El Camino Real High School.
Franklin's greatest decathletes include Alex Moreno, the first Varsity to break 8,600 as a junior and the only Varsity to make the top ten Varsities list twice.
