Franklin Elementary

Summary:

Franklin Elementary is a public elementary school in Rochester, Minnesota, serving 562 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school has a diverse student population, with a higher percentage of minority students compared to nearby schools in the Rochester Public School District.

While Franklin Elementary's racial diversity is a strength, the school's academic performance lags behind nearby schools and the state average. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school's proficiency rates in Math, Reading, and Science were 40%, 33.6%, and 32.93%, respectively, compared to the state averages of 45.47%, 49.85%, and 39.56%. The school's performance also varies significantly across different student subgroups, with its Hispanic students ranking 121 out of 249 Minnesota elementary schools in Math proficiency, while its White students ranked 602 out of 730 schools.

Franklin Elementary's challenges may be partly attributed to its high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 66.9% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Jefferson Elementary, Washington District-Wide Elementary, and Lincoln K-8 District-Wide School, which have lower percentages of students from low-income families and higher academic performance.

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.
