Summary

Franklin Square Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Jeffersonville, IN that enrolls 524 students and belongs to Greater Clark County Schools, a district ranked in the middle of Indiana's 374 districts.

Franklin Square ranks 888th of 1,015 Indiana elementary schools in 2025–26 — the 13th percentile, or 1 star — and that is far below its own district's standing. This is not a single bad year: the school has stayed between the 13th and 20th percentile for six straight years. In the same district, Utica Elementary School is at the 77th percentile with 4 stars, while Riverside Elementary School and Northaven Elementary School sit at the 42nd percentile. Even Parkwood Elementary School, the only other 1-star school in the local comparison, ranks higher than Franklin Square.

Attendance is the clearest difference between Franklin Square and its neighbors: 32.5% of students were chronically absent in 2024–25, higher than any nearby school, above the district's 27.3%, and nearly double Indiana's 16.7%. Poverty is high here (76.34% free/reduced lunch), but similar-poverty neighbors have lower absenteeism and higher achievement. In 2025–26, ELA proficiency was 15.74% and Math 22.34% — the lowest among the nearby schools — while Science was 24% and Social Studies 15.63%. Fourth-grade Math, at 34%, is the school's strongest result. All-grade Math has risen from 16.81% in 2022–23 to 22.34%, and Science from 17.5% to 24%, but ELA slipped to 15.74%, and 5th grade is weak across subjects. The main takeaways for families: bottom-tier rankings for six years, the highest absenteeism in the area, and low reading and math proficiency.
