Summary:
The Ashton-Franklin Center Elementary School is the sole elementary school serving grades PK-6 in the Ashton-Franklin Center CUSD 275 district. With an enrollment of 242 students, the school has faced academic challenges, particularly in English Language Arts and Mathematics, where its proficiency rates have consistently lagged behind district and state averages.
While the school's 5th-grade proficiency in Science is higher than the district and state, its overall academic performance, as reflected in its ranking and rating, has been below average. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 25.4% is also a concern, potentially contributing to the lower academic outcomes. Additionally, the school serves a population with significant economic challenges, with over 50% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.
Despite the academic challenges, the school's per-student spending of $15,078 is relatively high, suggesting that the allocation of resources may be an area for further analysis. Overall, the data indicates that Ashton-Franklin Center Elementary School faces a complex set of factors that impact its performance, and addressing attendance, academic support, and resource utilization may be key priorities for the school and district moving forward.
