Franklin Elementary

Summary:

Franklin Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 769 students in grades PK-5 as part of the Northside Independent School District.

Franklin Elementary stands out for its diverse student population, with a higher percentage of Hispanic (65.15%) and African American (5.85%) students compared to nearby schools. Academically, the school consistently outperforms the district and state averages in reading and mathematics proficiency, particularly among African American and Hispanic students, who rank in the top quartile of Texas elementary schools. However, the school's statewide ranking has declined in recent years, and there are performance disparities among student subgroups, with White and English Language Learner students lagging behind their peers.

While Franklin Elementary's spending per student ($8,155) is lower than nearby charter schools like SST Hill Country and SST Northwest, which demonstrate strong academic performance, the school's diverse and generally high-performing student population suggests opportunities for further improvement and replication of effective practices.

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.
