Franklin

Summary:

Franklin is an exemplary elementary school located in North Andover, Massachusetts, serving 381 students in grades 1-5. The school consistently outperforms state and district averages on MCAS Next Generation assessments, earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger for its strong academic performance.

Franklin's academic excellence is particularly noteworthy in several areas. The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (49.56%), Mathematics (66.67%), and Science (52.05%) surpass the state averages of 39.17%, 40.91%, and 41.95%, respectively. Additionally, Franklin's performance for certain student subgroups, such as Asian and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students, is exceptional, with the school ranking 16th out of 143 Massachusetts elementary schools for its Asian student performance in ELA and 22nd out of 760 for its low-SES student performance.

While Franklin's overall academic achievements are impressive, the nearby schools in the North Andover district, such as Thomson and Atkinson, also demonstrate strong performance, with 4-star and 3-star ratings, respectively. This suggests that the North Andover district as a whole is providing a high-quality education to its students. However, there may be opportunities to further enhance the academic achievement of certain subgroups at Franklin, such as African American and Hispanic students, whose proficiency rates, while still above state averages, could potentially be improved.

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.
