Summary

Benjamin Franklin Elementary is a K-6 public school serving 673 students in the Corona-Norco Unified district, consistently ranking as a 4-star school in the top quarter of California despite serving a community where over 70% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school's greatest strength is its exceptional ability to help all students succeed, particularly those facing economic challenges. It significantly outperforms other nearby schools with similar student populations, such as Coronita Elementary and John Adams Elementary, in core subjects like English and math. This success is also reflected in strong student engagement, with a chronic absenteeism rate much lower than the district and state averages. While a nearby school like Dwight D. Eisenhower Elementary posts higher test scores, it serves a less economically disadvantaged community, making Benjamin Franklin's results especially impressive.

Benjamin Franklin achieves these strong outcomes efficiently, spending less per student than several comparison schools. The school has maintained stable performance since the pandemic, with improving attendance. An area for growth is supporting mathematics achievement in the middle elementary grades, and the school is examining how to best support all student groups. For families in the area, Benjamin Franklin stands out as a school that delivers excellent and equitable results within its community.
