Summary

Franklin Academy Sunrise is a large K-8 charter school in Sunrise, FL, serving 1,370 students and consistently earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger, with a state ranking that has climbed from the 63rd to the 78th percentile over the past few years. One of the most notable features of this school is its exceptionally low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch (just 5.77% in 2024-2025), which is dramatically lower than nearby traditional public schools like Horizon Elementary School (55.84%) and Sandpiper Elementary School (31.12%). This socioeconomic profile helps explain why Franklin Academy consistently outperforms district and state averages across nearly all subjects, particularly in middle school End-of-Course exams where proficiency rates reach 95% in Biology and 94% in Civics.

Despite its strong academic record, Franklin Academy faces a notable challenge with chronic absenteeism, which stood at 20.4% in 2023-2024. While this is better than the Broward district average of 33.6%, it is higher than the rate at nearby Central Park Elementary School (19.6%) and significantly higher than the 0.0% rate at Everest Charter School, another high-performing charter in the area. The school has shown improvement in this area, dropping from a high of 26.4% in 2021-2022, but it remains an area where further gains could boost overall achievement.

Another interesting finding is a potential weakness in 8th-grade science, where only 48% of students were proficient in 2025-2026—below both the district (49%) and state (52%) averages. This is a stark contrast to the 78% proficiency in 5th-grade science and the 95% proficiency in the Biology 1 End-of-Course exam, suggesting a possible curriculum gap in middle school science. Additionally, Franklin Academy operates with remarkable efficiency, spending just $9,404 per student—the lowest among all nearby schools and roughly 60-70% of what schools like Horizon ($15,959) and Sandpiper ($16,010) spend. This lean budget, combined with top-tier results, makes Franklin Academy a standout choice for families seeking a high-performing, cost-effective K-8 option in the Sunrise area.
