Summary:

Franklin School is an elementary school located in Provo, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with a student population of 366. The school is part of the Provo District, which is ranked 39 out of 98 districts in Utah and is rated 3 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger.

While Franklin School has a significantly higher percentage of Hispanic students (56.56%) compared to the state and district averages, it consistently underperforms academically. The school's RISE test scores across all grade levels and subject areas fall well below the Provo District and state averages. For example, in the 2023-2024 school year, the percentage of students proficient or better in English Language Arts ranged from 16.3% to 32.7%, compared to the Provo District's 45.5% to 53.8% and the state's 44% to 46.7%. Additionally, Franklin School has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.34% to 68.35% over the past three school years, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds.

When comparing Franklin School to other nearby elementary schools in the Provo District, it becomes evident that the school is underperforming academically. For instance, Lakeview School, Provost School, and Wasatch School all have significantly higher RISE test scores and SchoolDigger rankings compared to Franklin School. Despite the school's higher spending per student ($10,050 in 2018-2019) than the state average, its academic performance remains low, suggesting that additional funding alone may not be the sole solution to improving student outcomes.

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.
