Summary

Franklin Elementary School in North Andover, Massachusetts is a public school serving 380 students in grades 1-5. The school consistently outperforms the North Andover district and the state of Massachusetts on MCAS Next Generation tests, with strong academic achievement across all grades and subjects.

Franklin's performance is particularly impressive for certain student subgroups. In the 2024-2025 school year, the school ranked 16th out of 143 Massachusetts elementary schools for Asian students, 77th out of 736 for low socioeconomic status students, and 178th out of 717 for special education students. This diversity in performance is in contrast to some nearby schools, such as Shawsheen School in Andover, which has a much lower percentage of low-income students and higher per-student spending.

When compared to schools in the neighboring Lawrence school district, which is ranked 334 out of 348 districts in Massachusetts, Franklin's performance is significantly higher. For example, Francis M. Leahy Elementary School in Lawrence had only 4.78% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts and 4.78% in Mathematics in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to Franklin's much stronger results.
