However, the school spends the least per student at $7,980, compared to the other schools in the area.

The racial makeup of the schools is diverse, with a mix of White and African American students. Franklin County Middle School has the highest percentage of African American students at 50.49%, while Franklin High School has the highest percentage of White students at 54.48%. Overall, the data suggests a need for targeted interventions and support to improve academic outcomes across the district, particularly in light of the high-need student population and the mixed performance on standardized tests.
