Within the district, Mount Carmel School stands out as a top-performing elementary school, ranking in the top 150 in the state and earning a 4-star rating. It boasts strong test scores, with over 50% of students proficient in English Language Arts and over 60% proficient in Math. Meanwhile, Franklin County High School has a very high 4-year graduation rate of 98.2% and has improved its statewide ranking in recent years, moving from 146th to 91st. In contrast, Laurel School struggles, with only 30.43% proficiency in English Language Arts and 36.23% in Math.
The district's student population is overwhelmingly white, which may indicate a lack of diversity. Additionally, there is a clear correlation between socioeconomic status and academic performance, with the school serving the highest percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch also having the lowest test scores. The district should explore ways to address these disparities and ensure equitable access to quality education for all students.
