Summary:
Zip code 62896 has four schools serving prekindergarten through grade 12: Denning Elementary School, Frankfort Intermediate School, Central Junior High School, and Frankfort Community High School. The clearest area-wide concern in the supplied grade 3–8 results is math: school results averaged 28% proficient, compared with 40% statewide, a 12-point shortfall; the ELA shortfall was 3 points. Math is especially low at Central Junior High School, where 17% of grade 7 and 14% of grade 8 students were proficient, versus 40% and 35% statewide. Math is the most consistent academic concern in the available middle-grade results.
Frankfort Intermediate School stands out in the grade-specific comparisons: grade 6 ELA proficiency was 66% versus 59% statewide, and grade 3 math was 53% versus 49%. Its all-grades IAR results were also higher than Central Junior High School’s—54% versus 51% in ELA and 35% versus 16% in math—but the schools serve different grade spans. At the high school, grade 11 ACT ELA was a relative bright spot at 51%, about 1 point above the state; math and science were below state results. Denning Elementary School has no supplied test scores, so it cannot be compared academically here.
Recent results generally moved closer to state levels, but not at every grade: among 15 school-grade-subject comparisons with results in both years, gaps narrowed in 10 and widened in 5. Central Junior High School’s IAR ELA rose 11 points and math rose 3, while high school grade 9 and grade 11 results improved; grade 10 results declined in all three subjects. SchoolDigger places Frankfort Intermediate School and Frankfort Community High School at the 36th percentile and Central Junior High School at the 16th percentile for 2025–26. As context, 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible rates ranged from 47% at Denning to 60% at Intermediate; student-teacher ratios ranged from 11.0 at the high school to 17.3 at Denning.
