Summary:
The Franklin CUSD 1 district in Illinois serves students from three schools: two elementary schools (Franklin Elementary School and Franklin East Grade School) and one junior/senior high school (Franklin Junior/Senior High School). The data analysis reveals a mix of strengths and areas for improvement across the district.
Franklin Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, ranking 580 out of 2,067 Illinois elementary schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperformed the district and state averages in several academic areas, including English Language Arts, Math, and Science proficiency. In contrast, Franklin Junior/Senior High School and Franklin East Grade School struggled to match these academic achievements, suggesting potential opportunities for the district to focus on improving outcomes at the secondary and early elementary levels.
The data also reveals disparities in resource allocation, with significant differences in per-student spending across the schools. Additionally, the district as a whole has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger and is ranked 400 out of 813 in Illinois, indicating room for improvement in overall district performance. The high chronic absenteeism rates, particularly at Franklin East Grade School, are also a concern that the district may need to address.
