Franklin Academy - Boynton Beach

Summary:

Franklin Academy - Boynton Beach is a public charter elementary and middle school serving grades K-8 in the diverse community of Boynton Beach, Florida. With a student population that is 49.12% African American, 23.76% Hispanic, and 19.48% White, the school has been rated 2 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger, placing it in the middle of Florida elementary schools.

Despite having a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students compared to nearby schools, Ben Gamla-Palm Beach and many traditional public schools, Franklin Academy consistently outperforms them on academic measures. For example, in 2023-2024, the school had 85% proficiency in Algebra 1 EOC, compared to 58% for Palm Beach district and 55% for Florida. However, the school has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 10.7% in 2020-2021 to 21.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the nearby schools.

Franklin Academy also stands out for its racial diversity, with a more balanced student population compared to the nearby schools, which tend to have higher concentrations of either White or African American students. Additionally, the school spends more per student than the nearby schools, with spending increasing from $6,271 in 2019-2020 to $10,040 in 2022-2023. This higher investment, combined with the school's academic performance, suggests that Franklin Academy is providing a quality education to its diverse student population, despite the concerning trend in chronic absenteeism that warrants further investigation.

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.
