Summary

Franklin Square Elementary School is a public elementary school in Jeffersonville, Indiana, serving 547 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Greater Clark County Schools district, which is ranked 203 out of 380 districts in Indiana and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite receiving relatively high per-student funding, Franklin Square Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in standardized test scores across all subjects and grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 21.24% of students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 37% for the district. In math, only 18.58% of students were proficient or better, compared to 37.47% for the district. The school also has significantly higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.8% to 32.8% over the past few years, which is much higher than the state and district averages.

When comparing Franklin Square Elementary School to other schools in the Greater Clark County Schools district, it becomes clear that the school is an outlier in terms of academic performance and student demographics. For instance, Utica Elementary School, which is only 5.1 miles away, consistently outperforms Franklin Square Elementary School across all subject areas and grade levels, with significantly higher proficiency rates. While the high per-student spending and the high percentage of students from low-income families at Franklin Square Elementary School may be contributing factors to the school's poor academic performance, addressing the root causes of the school's underperformance, such as chronic absenteeism, could be crucial in improving the school's overall performance and providing a better educational experience for its students.
