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.

Open Quote We love the Franklin Crismon campus! we started here when our oldest was in 4th grade, and now 13 years later our youngest is in 6th grade. All 5 of our kids have loved the music program here. We are sad to be leaving elementary school behind, but very happy that we get to keep going with the Franklin High School campus! Close Quote

Open Quote We love this school - focused on values, character, patriotism, and learning! They have worked with my non-traditional learner and my traditional learner so well!

Open Quote We have been sending our kids to this campus specifically since our 21 & 19 year olds were in elementary, and we continue with our youngest now who have been there since kindergarten and are in their 3rd and 5th graders now. We feel like this school is the best place to get our kids started on their education. We love the curriculum and the environment that is fostered here! We love that it is family oriented and encourages parent involvement. They teach respect for veterans and country. They foster a healthy relationship with local law enforcement. All of which helps us as parents grow our children into productive members of society! Close Quote

Open Quote Before choosing where I would send my oldest, I toured 13 schools. Benjamin Franklin hands down ended up being our emphatic 1st choice. We have loved every second spent there, and now have 4 children attending. Even with the switch to the new math program (which has been so frustrating) all teachers have been so patient and supportive to each of my children. We love every staff member in the front office, music room, PE, art, and class room. We love Principal Ball and you can sense how he genuinely cares for each child. We know the are getting the best education Queen Creek/ San Tan has to offer. Close Quote

Open Quote Benjamin Franklin Charter Schools has absolutely been a blessing to our family. My daughters were in a neighboring public school for quite a few years and it was an unsafe environment. My kids would come home everyday telling me about the experiences they were having in their classes. Teachers were managing behaviors more than they were doing any teaching. We new we needed to make a change and chose to switch to Benjamin Franklin Charter School. Within a month of switching schools, I could see a difference in my girls. While the academics were more challenging than what they were use to, their character began to build, their demeanor became more positive and they were overall feeling safer and more cared for. Their teachers have shown that they really care. Administration is positive and supportive, yet hold high expectations for their teachers, staff and students. The music program is phenomenal. Benjamin Franklin Charter School has been an answer to prayers for our family. Close Quote

Open Quote They are such a phenomenal school! They excel in so many areas that it seems to good to be true that you go to this school. They emphasis kids learning and relationships with their teachers. They emphasis the importance of safety and take every precaution so parents can feel comfortable with sending their kids to school. They emphasis a bully free, cell phone free, protected school so you know your kids are being taught the way you would. I so much appreciate all the hands on teaching while allowing the parents full access and hands on parenting. It is a great school!! Close Quote

Open Quote I have nothing but amazing things to say about this school. I have a child on an IEP this is one school that didn’t tell me my child would have to wait to get help. They started helping him with services on day one. Everyone I have encountered have been amazing. I am so glad I have my kids going here and they love it as well. I also love that the principal knows everyone’s names to me that makes the school feel like family. I also love the morning flag pole. It an amazing school.. Close Quote

The school’s efforts to go above and beyond with tutoring options and after school homework club have set my kids up to succeed in every subject. I wouldn’t dream of sending them anywhere else.

Open Quote Benjamin Franklin offers an advanced curriculum that I couldn't be more impressed with! The teachers here truly care about their students. It's a beautiful thing to know your child isn't just a number amongst many, or a filled seated in a classroom. They look beyond the surface on a daily basis and really get to know their students. The community surrounding BFCS is unmatched and understated! Parents and families are actively included and involved where we feel just as close to the school as our children do. I can't thank BFCS enough for taking care of my little ones the way they do! Close Quote

Open Quote We love love love BFCS! My daughter is learning so fast, and is way ahead of friends at other schools in reading and math. The office staff is so friendly and welcoming, and we absolutely love the teachers that my daughter has had so far. The cherry on top is the respect for patriotism they teach at the school. It is something that is becoming less and less at other schools. We find it extremely important and are so happy to be part of a school that feels the same way! Close Quote

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.
