Franklin School

Summary:

Franklin School is an exceptional elementary school located in Corvallis, Oregon, serving 301 students in grades K-8. As part of the highly-ranked Corvallis School District 509J, Franklin School consistently outperforms the district and the state of Oregon in academic performance, earning a 5-star rating from SchoolDigger and ranking 20th out of 710 elementary schools in the state.

Franklin School's academic excellence is particularly noteworthy. In the 2023-2024 school year, the school had significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts and Mathematics compared to the district and state averages. This trend has been consistent over the years, with Franklin School ranking 1st out of 662 Oregon elementary schools for male students and 15th out of 670 for white students in ELA proficiency. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, at 20.93%, is much lower than some nearby schools, such as Letitia Carson Elementary and Garfield Elementary, which have much higher rates of economically disadvantaged students.

The higher spending per student at Franklin School, at $18,905 for the 2021-2022 school year, compared to nearby schools like Philomath Elementary ($15,735) and Liberty Elementary ($17,308), may contribute to its strong academic performance. This suggests that adequate funding and resource allocation can play a crucial role in supporting student success, and Franklin School serves as a model for other schools in the region.

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.

Open Quote The school has a reputation for excellence in terms of a majority of committed teachers who have taught at the school for many many years, student test performance (hovers in the neighborhood of 90%tile of Oregon schools) and parent involvement. The principal, Aaron Hale, is entering is 4th year and is very well liked. This is a charter school with a lottery system. A friend of mine is a high school teacher and she told me that the Franklin kids are easy to pick out; organized and successful students, Franklin well prepares them for doing well in high school. More community involvement would be great, and adding effective language opportunities would be appreciated. The school has physical ed., and music twice a week and art once a week. Close Quote

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.
