Franklin County School

Summary:

Franklin County School is an alternative public school located in Eastpoint, Florida, serving grades PK-12 with a total enrollment of 785 students. The school is part of the Franklin school district, which is ranked 60th out of 68 districts in Florida and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin County School faces significant challenges in terms of student academic performance, attendance, and graduation rates. The school has a higher percentage of white students (71.85%) and a lower percentage of African American (8.54%) and Hispanic (11.08%) students compared to the state average. While the school's four-year graduation rate has fluctuated, it remains below the state average, and the school has experienced alarmingly high rates of chronic absenteeism, reaching 61.1% in 2021-2022. Academically, Franklin County School consistently underperforms the state average in most assessments, including End-of-Course (EOC) exams, Statewide Science assessments, and the Florida Assessment of Student Thinking (FAST) in English Language Arts and Mathematics.

Interestingly, the only nearby school in the same district, Franklin Virtual Instruction Program, is a much smaller alternative virtual school with a higher percentage of white students (75%) and lower chronic absenteeism (22.7%) compared to Franklin County School. However, the virtual school lacks sufficient data to make a meaningful comparison. Despite increased per-student spending at Franklin County School, from $12,074 in 2019-2020 to $15,488 in 2022-2023, the impact on student outcomes has not yet been evident. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 62.33% to 71.15% over the past three years, indicates a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population, which may contribute to the school's academic challenges.

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.
