Summary:
The Benjamin Franklin Charter School - Queen Creek area includes four schools serving grades K–12: three elementary schools for grades K–6 and one high school for grades 7–12. Overall, the elementary schools outperform the state: their average all-grades results are 53% in ELA and 45% in math, compared with 41% and 33% statewide. The clearest takeaway is that results vary meaningfully between schools, especially in math.
Benjamin Franklin Charter School - Gilbert leads the elementary schools in all-grades ELA (58%) and math (53%), and fifth-grade science (53%). At the other end, Benjamin Franklin Charter School - Power has the lowest elementary all-grades ELA result at 49%, while Benjamin Franklin Charter School - Crismon has the lowest math result at 38%; Gilbert is 9 points higher than Power in ELA and 15 points higher than Crismon in math. Grade-level results add nuance: Power’s sixth-grade ELA score is 70%, the highest supplied elementary grade-level ELA result, despite its lower overall score. Benjamin Franklin High School stands out against state results in eleventh grade, scoring 66% in ELA and 61% in math—28 and 30 points higher, respectively.
SchoolDigger rankings shifted in different directions most recently: from 2024–25 to 2025–26, the high school rose 8 percentile points to 88, while Crismon fell 7 points to 59, Gilbert fell 3 to 74, and Power fell 6 to 60. Over the full three-year span, the high school changed from the 87th to the 88th percentile, Crismon from the 60th to the 59th, and Gilbert and Power ended where they began. Enrollment and student–teacher ratios do not neatly track elementary results: Gilbert has 598 students and a 19.9-to-1 ratio, while Power has 565 students and an 18.2-to-1 ratio, yet Gilbert leads Power by 9 points in both all-grades subjects. Because the high school serves different grades, its all-grades results are not directly comparable with the elementary schools’ results.
