Summary

Franklin Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a PK-5 school in the San Antonio Independent School District (Isd) serving 409 students in a high-poverty area, where over 91% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, yet it has achieved a remarkable academic turnaround, now ranking in the 77th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Franklin Elementary stands out for its exceptional performance with students from low socio-economic backgrounds, ranking in the 95th percentile for this group—a full 22 points higher than its overall rank. The school also excels with Hispanic students (87th percentile) and English Language Learners (85th percentile), far outpacing nearby schools like Wilson Elementary (60th percentile overall) and Neal Elementary (39th percentile). Its bilingual program is a major strength, with 5th-grade students scoring 60% proficient in Reading and 66.7% in Math on the Spanish STAAR, compared to state averages of 34.8% and 22.3%. Even when compared to Olmos Elementary in the higher-performing North East Independent School District (Isd), Franklin’s test scores are competitive or better in several areas, despite serving a more economically challenged population.

While Franklin’s overall trajectory is impressive—climbing over 48 percentile points in four years—it has areas needing improvement. The school’s performance with Special Education students ranks in the 29th percentile, and 5th-grade Science scores have been volatile, often below the state average. Notably, Franklin’s per-student spending ($11,922) is similar to its district peers, suggesting its success stems from effective resource allocation and strong instructional leadership rather than higher funding. For parents seeking a school that consistently helps students overcome economic challenges, Franklin Elementary is a standout choice in the San Antonio area.
