Summary

Franklin Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-8 school of about 505 students in Yuba City, operating as its own independent district and earning top 4-star ratings for over a decade.

Academically, the school stands out in the area, with student proficiency in English and math significantly exceeding both state averages and the results at nearby schools like Tierra Buena Elementary or those in the larger Yuba City Unified district; its math scores are particularly strong. A major factor in this success is an exceptional school attendance record, with chronic absenteeism less than half the rate of most surrounding schools. It's noteworthy that Franklin achieves these strong outcomes with lower per-student spending and higher student-teacher ratios than many comparison schools.

While performing well across groups, the school has shown recent dips in statewide ranking for some student subgroups. Its science scores, while close to the state average, are an area for improvement compared to its strength in other subjects. Overall, Franklin Elementary is distinguished by its consistent excellence, efficient operation, and a positive school culture that promotes regular attendance and high achievement.
