Summary

Serving 2,065 students in grades 8–12, Franklin High is a large high school in Stockton, part of Stockton Unified. Its strongest subject is English language arts (ELA), but its clearest academic concern is math: 9% of students met proficiency in 2025–26, compared with 18% districtwide and 38% statewide.

ELA is a relative strength across comparison groups: 42% of Franklin students met proficiency, 13 percentage points above the district and 7 below California. That result was also slightly above the nearby-school average of 40%. Math was below the nearby average of 19%, while science was 17%, below both the nearby average of 24% and the state’s 36%; it was close to the district’s 19%. Results also differ by grade: 8th-grade ELA proficiency was 64%, while 11th-grade ELA was 41%. Among the school’s broader outcomes, graduation was strong at 95%, above the state’s 88% and the district’s 93%; chronic absenteeism, however, was 41%, compared with 18% statewide and 31% in the district.

ELA has improved over time: proficiency rose from 31% in 2022–23 to 42% in 2025–26, narrowing its gap with the state by 8 percentage points. Math moved in the opposite direction, falling from 15% to 9%, while its gap with the state widened by 10 points. SchoolDigger placed Franklin at the 27th percentile with 1 star in 2025–26; its overall standing has stayed near the 26th–27th percentiles in recent years. A notable subgroup result is Special Education Students: their SchoolDigger ranking was at the 10th percentile, compared with 27th overall, in 2025–26. Franklin’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 19.8, near the middle of the nearby range, and its 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measure was 76%. These measures offer context, not an explanation for achievement.
