Franklin Elementary School

Summary:

Franklin Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Franklin, West Virginia, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 276 students. The school is part of the Pendleton County Schools district, which is ranked 7th out of 55 districts in West Virginia and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin Elementary School has a significantly higher percentage of white students (97.83%) compared to the state average, but its academic performance is mixed. While the school's mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are generally higher than the state average, they are lower than the Pendleton County Schools district average across all grade levels. The school's 5th-grade science proficiency rates are also higher than the state average but lower than the district average. Interestingly, female students and white students at Franklin Elementary School consistently outperform their peers, but the school's performance for African American, Hispanic, and special education students is lower compared to the state averages for those subgroups.

Compared to nearby schools, North Fork Elementary School has lower academic performance across most subject areas and grade levels, while Brandywine Elementary School outperforms Franklin Elementary School in both mathematics and ELA proficiency rates. Despite these variations, Franklin Elementary School's low student-teacher ratio and higher spending per student may contribute to its relatively strong academic performance, though further analysis would be needed to fully understand the factors driving its performance.

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.
