Franklin Phonetic Primary School Inc.

Franklin Phonetic Primary School is the sole elementary charter school in the Franklin Phonetic Primary School Inc. district, serving students in grades K-8 in Prescott Valley, Arizona. While the school has some positive attributes, such as higher-than-average English Language Arts proficiency rates for certain grade levels, it also faces several areas of concern that warrant further attention.

The school's overall statewide ranking has declined over the past three years, from 534 out of 1,000 Arizona elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 475 out of 904 in 2023-2024. Additionally, the school's proficiency rates in Mathematics and Science are significantly lower than the state average, with only 27% of 5th graders and 16% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in Mathematics, and 30% of 5th graders and 25% of 8th graders scoring proficient or better in Science. The school also has a relatively high dropout rate of 5.6% for the 2021-2022 school year.

Despite these challenges, Franklin Phonetic Primary School serves a diverse student population, with 57.79% White, 36.21% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of other racial groups. The school also has a significant percentage of students from low-income families, with a free/reduced lunch rate of 44.84%. This suggests that the school may need to allocate resources and implement strategies to support the unique needs of its student population and address the areas of concern identified in the data.
