The school is part of the Franklin County School District, which is ranked 109 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin County High School has consistently underperformed compared to the state average on standardized tests, with proficiency rates significantly lower than the state averages in subjects like TNReady/Biology I, TNReady/US History, TNReady/English I, and TNReady/English II. The school's statewide ranking has been consistently in the bottom third of high schools in Tennessee, placing between 244-291 out of 374-384 schools. The school's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with African American and Hispanic students performing better than their White peers, but still lagging behind state averages for their respective groups. The school's performance for Special Education and Low Socioeconomic Status students is particularly concerning, with rankings in the bottom third of Tennessee high schools.

When compared to nearby high schools like Coffee County Central High School, Moore County High School, and Tullahoma High School, Franklin County High School generally underperforms on academic measures.

While Franklin County High School has a more diverse student population compared to some of the nearby schools, the academic performance gaps between racial groups suggest that the school may need to focus on addressing equity and inclusion issues.

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.
