Summary:
The Franklin School District in New Hampshire consists of three schools: Franklin Middle School, Paul A. Smith School (an elementary school), and Franklin High School. While the district's overall academic performance lags behind state averages, the data reveals some standout elements, particularly at the elementary school level.
The Paul A. Smith School stands out with the highest proficiency rates in both math and reading compared to the other schools and the district/state averages. In contrast, Franklin Middle School and Franklin High School perform significantly below state averages, with the middle school consistently ranking in the bottom 10% of New Hampshire middle schools over the past three years.
The data also highlights potential equity concerns within the Franklin School District, with high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across all three schools, indicating a significant population of economically disadvantaged students. This disparity in performance between the district and state averages may indicate the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique challenges faced by the district.
