Franklin School of Innovation

Summary:

Franklin School of Innovation is an elementary school located in Pueblo, Colorado, serving 317 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Pueblo School District No. 60, which is ranked 104 out of 116 districts in Colorado and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin School of Innovation has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (71.29%) compared to the surrounding schools and the state average, and a lower percentage of White students (23.97%). The school consistently performs below the Pueblo School District No. 60 and the state average in CMAS assessments, with overall proficiency rates in the bottom 30% of Colorado elementary schools. However, the school's Hispanic student subgroup performs better, ranking in the top 30-40% of Colorado elementary schools. Additionally, Franklin School of Innovation has a very high percentage of students (82.33%) receiving free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population. The school's relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 14.3 to 15.6 students per teacher, could be an asset in addressing the unique needs of its diverse student body.

Despite the challenges faced by Franklin School of Innovation, including consistently low academic performance and a significant achievement gap between Hispanic and non-Hispanic students, the school's strong performance among its Hispanic student subgroup and its low student-teacher ratio suggest that with the right interventions and support, there may be potential for improvement. Addressing the unique needs of the school's diverse student population and providing comprehensive support services and resources to students and their families will be crucial in helping Franklin School of Innovation achieve academic success.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
