Summary

Franklin High is a large, comprehensive public high school serving about 2,065 students in grades 7-12 within the Stockton Unified district, operating in a high-need community where most students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

While the school excels at helping students graduate, with a rate of 93.7% that beats both district and state averages, it faces significant academic challenges, particularly in math where only about 9% of students are proficient. Chronic absenteeism, at 37.6%, is also a serious concern that is higher than the district and state averages. Compared to other schools in the area, Franklin High's academic performance is generally lower than nearby specialized schools like Stockton Early College Academy and Health Careers Academy, though it is similar in size and scope to Edison High.

The data suggests that smaller, specialized schools in the district often have more resources per student and achieve stronger test scores, highlighting a structural difference. Franklin High's key task is to build on its strength in graduation rates by improving daily attendance and providing targeted academic support, especially in mathematics, to ensure students are not only graduating but are also prepared for their next steps after high school.
