Summary:
The Franklin CUSD 1 school district in Illinois is home to two elementary schools: Franklin East Grade School (grades PK-2) and Franklin Elementary School (grades 3-5). While both schools serve the Franklin community, the data suggests a significant performance gap between the two.
Franklin Elementary School appears to be the standout performer, consistently ranking in the top 30% of Illinois elementary schools and outperforming the district and state averages in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science proficiency, particularly at the 5th grade level. In contrast, Franklin East Grade School has a lower statewide ranking and does not have any standout performance metrics.
Both schools face challenges, such as high chronic absenteeism rates that exceed the state average. However, Franklin Elementary School appears to have a lower student-teacher ratio and spends slightly more per student than Franklin East Grade School. The district should examine the factors contributing to the performance gap between the two schools and implement targeted interventions to support student success across the Franklin CUSD 1 district.
