Summary

Franklin School of Innovation is an elementary school in Pueblo, Colorado, serving 338 students in grades K-5. The school is part of the Pueblo School District No. 60, which is ranked 105 out of 115 districts in the state and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin School of Innovation faces significant challenges, including high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 27.7% to 46.6% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages. The school's academic performance is also a concern, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Math, and Science that are lower than the state and district averages. For example, the school's ELA proficiency rates range from 28.9% to 33.5%, while its math proficiency rates range from 18.7% to 26.5%.

When compared to nearby schools, Haaff Elementary School stands out as the highest-performing, with significantly higher proficiency rates in all subjects compared to Franklin School of Innovation and the district/state averages. However, the school's relatively strong performance among Hispanic students suggests that there may be opportunities to learn from successful practices and apply them more broadly to improve overall academic achievement.
