Summary:
Franklin Borough School District is a small school district in New Jersey that serves the community of Franklin Borough. The district has only one school, Franklin Borough School, which provides education for students in grades PK-8.
Franklin Borough School has a diverse student population, with a racial makeup of 62% white, 29% Hispanic, and smaller percentages of African American, Asian, and multiracial students. The school faces some academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science that are mixed compared to state and district averages. While the school excels in certain grade levels and subjects, it struggles in others, particularly in higher grades and in Science. The school's high chronic absenteeism rate of 28.8% may be a contributing factor to these academic disparities.
Despite the school's relatively high per-student spending and low student-to-teacher ratio, its academic performance suggests that simply increasing funding may not be the sole solution. The Franklin Borough School District may need to examine how resources are being utilized and allocated to support student learning, as well as implement targeted interventions and support services to address the specific needs of the school's diverse student population.
