Franklin Borough School

Summary:

Franklin Borough School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-8 in Franklin, New Jersey, with a student population of 474. The school is part of the Hardyston Township School District, which is ranked 410 out of 615 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin Borough School stands out for its diverse student population, with 62.03% White, 4.01% African American, 29.11% Hispanic, and 1.69% Asian students. However, the school's academic performance, as measured by NJSLA test scores, is generally lower than the state averages and the nearby schools, such as Cozy Lake Elementary School and White Rock Elementary School. The school also faces challenges with high chronic absenteeism rates, reaching 28.8% in the 2021-2022 school year, and a higher percentage of students from low-income families, with 37.55% receiving free or reduced-price lunch.

Despite these challenges, Franklin Borough School has some interesting findings. The school's Hispanic students perform relatively well, ranking in the top 289 out of 982 New Jersey elementary schools, while the White students perform poorly, ranking in the bottom 730 out of 975 schools. Additionally, the school spends $15,890 per student, which is higher than the spending at the nearby schools, and has a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 9.5, suggesting that there may be opportunities to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve student outcomes for all students.

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.
