Franklin Academy Sunrise consistently outperforms the Broward County and Florida state averages on a wide range of standardized tests, including EOC exams, Statewide Science assessments, and FAST (Florida Assessment of Student Thinking) in English Language Arts and Math. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, Franklin Academy Sunrise had 90% proficiency in EOC Algebra 1, compared to 58% for Broward County and 55% for Florida. The school also has lower chronic absenteeism rates than nearby schools, such as Championship Academy Of Distinction Of West Broward (21.8%) and Horizon Elementary (38.8%). Additionally, Franklin Academy Sunrise serves a significant population of economically disadvantaged students, with 55.47% of its students receiving free or reduced-price lunch in the 2022-2023 school year.

This suggests that the school's charter status and educational approach may be contributing to its success in providing a high-quality education to its diverse student population.

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.
