Franklinton Elementary School

Summary:

Franklinton Elementary School is a public middle school in Franklinton, Louisiana, serving grades 4-6 with 405 students. The school is part of the Washington Parish School District, which is ranked 53 out of 122 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating.

Franklinton Elementary has a more diverse student population compared to nearby Franklinton Junior High School, with higher percentages of African American and Hispanic students. However, the school's academic performance lags behind, particularly in mathematics proficiency, which is lower than the district and state averages. In contrast, Folsom Junior High School in the neighboring St. Tammany Parish significantly outperforms Franklinton Elementary in both mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency.

Franklinton Elementary's high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48% to 63% over the past three years, suggests the school serves a predominantly economically disadvantaged population, which may contribute to the lower academic performance. The school has also seen a decline in mathematics proficiency rates over the past three years, indicating a need for targeted interventions and support to address this issue, particularly in the upper grade levels. Overall, Franklinton Elementary faces challenges in improving student outcomes, but also demonstrates strengths in English Language Arts that could be leveraged to support the diverse student population.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

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.
