Summary

Franklin Elementary is a top-performing K-5 public school serving 357 students in the highly-regarded Burlingame Elementary school district, consistently earning elite 5-star ratings for over a decade and ranking in the 98th percentile among all California elementary schools.

The school stands out for its remarkable and steady academic excellence, significantly outperforming most neighboring schools like Washington Elementary and McKinley Elementary in English, Math, and Science.
