Franklinton Elementary School

Public Grades 4-6

Summary

Franklinton Elementary School is a public middle school located in Franklinton, Louisiana, serving grades 4-6 with a total enrollment of 385 students. The school is part of the Washington Parish School District, which is ranked 51 out of 118 districts in Louisiana and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklinton Elementary School faces some challenges in improving its academic performance, particularly in mathematics and social studies, where proficiency rates are lower than the state and district averages. The school has experienced fluctuating chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 20.4% to 27.0% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average of around 20%. Additionally, the school has a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 48.35% to 62.96% over the past few years, suggesting that the school serves a population with lower socioeconomic status, which is often associated with lower academic achievement.

Interestingly, when compared to nearby schools, Folsom Junior High School, located in the neighboring St. Tammany Parish district, significantly outperforms Franklinton Elementary and Franklinton Junior High in both mathematics and English Language Arts proficiency rates, as well as having a lower student-teacher ratio. Addressing the underlying factors that contribute to Franklinton Elementary's lower performance, such as chronic absenteeism and socioeconomic challenges, could be crucial for the school's future success.
