Best Public Schools in Franklin, IN


Summary:

The city of Franklin, Indiana is home to 8 schools, including 5 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and 1 high school, serving students from diverse backgrounds. While the Franklin Community School Corporation (FCSC) district generally performs below the state average on standardized tests, a few standout schools shine, including Creekside Elementary School and Northwood Elementary School, which excel in English Language Arts and Math, respectively.

The data reveals significant variation in school performance within the FCSC district. While Franklin Community High School boasts a strong 92.1% four-year graduation rate, the district's middle schools, Franklin Community Middle School and Custer Baker Intermediate School, outperform the elementary schools on ILEARN assessments. Notably, Clark Elementary School, which is part of the Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation, stands out with a more diverse student population and different academic outcomes compared to the FCSC schools.

Across the district, chronic absenteeism rates vary widely, from 5.4% at Needham Elementary School to 25.1% at Franklin Community High School, an area of concern that may impact student learning and achievement. The data also suggests that the relationship between per-student spending and academic performance is not straightforward, as the highest-spending school, Webb Elementary School, has lower test scores than some of its peers in the Franklin Community School Corp.
