Summary

Frankton Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Frankton, Indiana, with an enrollment of 790 students. The school is part of the Frankton-Lapel Community Schools district, which is ranked 132 out of 380 districts in the state.

Despite the district's overall ranking, Frankton Elementary School consistently underperforms compared to the district and state averages in ILEARN test scores, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (32.63%) and Math (39.34%) significantly lower than the district (38.17% and 39.69%) and state (40.3% and 51.5%) averages. The school also has higher chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 7.6% to 19.2% over the past few years, and has seen a significant increase in free/reduced lunch recipients, from 40.26% in 2021-2022 to 50.99% in 2022-2023.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Lapel Elementary School within the same district, as well as schools in neighboring districts like Erskine Elementary, Tenth Street Elementary, and Eastside Elementary, Frankton Elementary consistently underperforms, especially in English Language Arts and Math. The school's declining performance over the years, as evidenced by its statewide ranking dropping from 485 out of 1,040 Indiana elementary schools in 2014-2015 to 603 out of 1,005 in 2024-2025, suggests the need for a comprehensive review of the school's strategies, resource allocation, and support systems to address these challenges and improve student outcomes.
