Summary

Franklin Academy - Boynton Beach is a public charter school in Boynton Beach, FL, serving 1,247 students in grades K-8 as part of the Palm Beach district.

This school presents a real mixed bag for parents. On one hand, it excels at preparing students for high school-level exams, with 100% proficiency in Biology and 86% in Geometry and Civics. Middle school math is also a strength, with 8th graders outperforming both the district and state averages. However, the school struggles significantly in the early elementary grades, especially in math. For example, only 34% of 4th graders were proficient in math, which is 31 points below the state average. This is a persistent issue that has contributed to a decade-long decline in the school's overall ranking, from the 66th percentile to the 28th percentile. Additionally, chronic absenteeism is high at 24.9%, which can be a barrier to learning.

Interestingly, Hidden Oaks K-8 is located just 0.28 miles away and offers a stark contrast. Hidden Oaks is a 4-star school with strong performance across all grades and lower chronic absenteeism (17.9%). This proximity suggests that Franklin Academy's challenges are likely tied to its own strategies and culture rather than the neighborhood. The school also spends significantly less per student ($9,532) than nearby traditional public schools like Freedom Shores Elementary School ($17,605), which may explain its focus on advanced coursework for older students at the expense of early intervention. If you're considering this school, it's worth investigating how they support struggling younger students and address attendance issues.
