Summary

Franklin Elementary School serves 47 students in grades 3–5 in Franklin, Illinois, and has the smallest enrollment among the nearby schools in this comparison. Its 2025–26 results show a clear strength in English language arts (ELA), with proficiency of 73% compared with 56% statewide and about the same as the district’s 73%. The most important finding is fourth-grade ELA: Franklin’s 83% was the highest reported result among the nearby schools.

ELA is Franklin’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools, its district and the state: its all-grades result was 19 points above the nearby-school average of 54%, and second only to New Berlin Elementary School, at 74%. Franklin’s fourth-grade result was 17 points above the next-highest reported score, at Northwestern Elementary School. Math is a smaller advantage: Franklin scored 43%, versus 40% statewide and 39% districtwide, and ranked third among the nearby schools with reported results. Its math score was 6 points above their average of 37%, but grade-level math results are suppressed. In 2025–26, chronic absenteeism was 16%, below the district’s 18% and state’s 24%, but higher than some nearby schools.

ELA has improved substantially, rising from 52% in 2023–24 to 73% in 2025–26; its lead over the state grew from 11 to 17 points. Math rose from 35% to 43%, but its lead over the state narrowed from 7 to 3 points. SchoolDigger ranks Franklin 276th of 1,737 Illinois schools, in the 84th percentile with four stars; its overall percentile increased from 58 in 2020–21. A notable subgroup difference is SchoolDigger’s 50th-percentile ranking for “White Students,” 34 points below the school’s overall percentile. Franklin’s 2024–25 student-teacher ratio was 9.5:1, compared with a 12.5:1 average among nearby schools. Franklin reported 25% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2021–22; nearby figures are from 2024–25, so they cannot be fairly compared.
