Summary:
The 03235 zip code area is home to 3 schools - 1 elementary, 1 middle, and 1 high school - all part of the Franklin School District. Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture, as none of the schools in this area appear to be performing well academically, with consistently low proficiency rates in math, reading, and science compared to state averages.
The Paul A. Smith Elementary School seems to be the highest performing of the three, with 3rd-grade math and reading proficiency rates around 30%, but this is still well below the state averages. The Franklin Middle School and Franklin High School, on the other hand, have particularly low proficiency rates, with many grades and subjects falling below 20% proficient. All three schools are ranked in the bottom half of their respective school types in the state, with the middle and high school ranking in the bottom quarter.
The data also reveals that the schools serve a predominantly white student population, with high percentages of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating significant socioeconomic challenges. While the student-teacher ratios are relatively low, the overall low performance suggests that the Franklin School District may need to address systemic issues and implement targeted interventions to improve student outcomes in this area.
