Summary

Benjamin Franklin Elementary School is a K–5 school in Moline, Illinois, with 290 students, serving a community that includes several nearby elementary schools in three districts. In 2025–2026, its overall IAR proficiency was 53% in English language arts (ELA) and 46% in math, ranking second among nearby schools with reported results in both subjects. The central takeaway is that the school is a strong nearby performer in ELA and math, but fifth-grade science is its clearest academic weakness.

The school’s overall results compare favorably with district and state results, especially in math: its 46% proficiency was 16 points above the Moline-Coal Valley CUSD 40 and 7 points above the state. ELA proficiency was 9 points above the district, though 4 points below the state. Among nearby schools, only Jane Addams Elementary School scored higher in either subject. Results vary by grade: third-grade math reached 67%, while fourth-grade math was 33%. Fifth-grade science was lower still, at 23%, compared with 36% for the district and 48% for the state; it was the lowest reported result among nearby schools serving fifth grade.

Results have improved over time: ELA rose from 25% in 2023–2024 to 53% in 2025–2026, narrowing the gap with the state from 16 points below to 4 points below. Math rose from 29% to 46%, though it dipped from 47% the prior year. SchoolDigger ranks the school at the 42nd statewide percentile, 1,000th of 1,737 schools, with 2 stars; its percentile fell from 52 the year before. The student-teacher ratio was 14.4, close to the nearby average of 14.3. The free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 57% in 2024–2025, below the nearby average of 77%. SchoolDigger’s 2024–2025 ranking for serving African American students was at the 79th percentile, compared with the school’s overall 52nd percentile; for serving Disabled Students, its 2023–2024 ranking was at the 8th percentile, versus 48th overall.
