Franklinton Middle has a more diverse student population compared to nearby schools, with a higher percentage of African American (41.3%) and Hispanic (21.05%) students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by proficiency rates in EOG tests, is generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and reading.

Franklinton Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of North Carolina middle schools, with a ranking between 529 and 723 out of 793 schools in the state over the past several years.

Franklinton Middle's academic performance data shows significant achievement gaps between different racial/ethnic groups, and the school's performance has generally declined over the past few years. Compared to nearby schools like Bunn Middle and G. C. Hawley Middle, Franklinton Middle generally performs worse academically, with lower proficiency rates and lower school rankings. However, Franklinton Middle has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, which may be a positive factor. The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Franklinton Middle suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges.

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.
