Summary

Franklin Police and Fire High School serves 313 students in grades 9–12 in Phoenix, as part of the Phoenix Union High School District. SchoolDigger places it at the 43rd percentile statewide for 2025–26, with 2 stars. The most important takeaway is that math is at the state level, while ELA is the clearer academic concern.

In 11th grade, Franklin’s math proficiency was 33%, close to the state’s 31% and above the district’s 14%; ELA proficiency was 26%, below the state’s 38% but above the district’s 18%. Compared with five nearby schools reporting scores, Franklin was second-lowest in ELA and fourth of six in math. Its ELA result was 29 points below the nearby average of 55%, while its math result was 6 points below the nearby average of 39%. So math is a relative strength against state and district results, but neither subject is above the nearby-school average.

SchoolDigger’s overall ranking recently rebounded from the 33rd percentile in 2024–25 to the 43rd in 2025–26, but remains below Franklin’s 74th-percentile results in 2017–18 and 2018–19; it is tied with Metro Technical High School and below three other nearby schools with current rankings. Franklin’s student–teacher ratio, 14.9, is lower than the nearby average of 16.5, though that does not correspond to higher test results in this comparison. Its reported free/reduced-lunch rate was 89% in 2022–23. SchoolDigger’s subgroup measure shows a notable improvement for Male Students, rising from the 30th percentile in 2020–21 to the 60th in 2022–23, while the overall ranking moved from the 47th to the 59th percentile. For Low Socio Economic Status Students, the ranking was the 54th percentile in 2025–26, above the school’s overall 43rd, but that advantage narrowed from 26 points in 2023–24 to 11 points. Test-score results are supplied for only one year in ELA and math, so they do not show whether those scores are improving.
