Franklin High School

Summary:

Franklin High School is a public high school located in Meadville, Mississippi, serving 391 students in grades 9-12. The school is part of the Franklin County School District and has a mixed academic performance compared to state and district averages.

While the school's proficiency rates in some subjects, like U.S. History, have been higher than the state average, its performance in others, such as Algebra I and Biology, has been lower. This fluctuating academic achievement has led to the school's ranking ranging from 92nd to 133rd out of 228 Mississippi high schools in recent years, and a consistent 2-3 star rating on SchoolDigger. The school's high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 99.09% to 99.23%, suggests it serves a predominantly low-income student population, which can impact academic outcomes.

Despite the challenges, Franklin High School has some strengths, including a relatively small student-teacher ratio and higher-than-average per-student spending. These factors could be leveraged to implement targeted interventions and support programs to help boost student achievement and address the unique needs of the school's population.

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.
