Summary:

Franklin, Massachusetts has three schools in this data set: two high schools, Franklin High (grades 9–12, 1,453 students) and Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical (grades 9–12, 1,000 students), plus one charter, Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School, which serves grades K–8 and enrolls 898. Together they serve about 3,351 students, with the two high schools making up roughly 73% of that total.

Franklin High posts the strongest traditional high-school results: in 2025–2026 its 10th-grade proficiency was 60.83% in ELA, 61.41% in Math, 61.72% in Science and 60.82% in Biology, all well above state. It graduates 99.2% of students with a 0.3% dropout rate, above the Franklin district's 97.7%, and ranks 62 of 353 (82nd percentile, 4 stars). Tri-County Regional Vocational Technical has perfect completion metrics — 100% graduation and 0% dropout — and its rank climbed from 55th percentile in 2023–2024 to 72nd percentile in 2025–2026, earning 4 stars. Its proficiency trails Franklin High but still beats state, and only one result in the whole data set fell below state: Tri-County's 2024–2025 Math at 43.60% vs. 44.60%.

Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School is a consistently high performer, ranking 156 of 899 (83rd percentile, 4 stars) across three years. Its 2025–2026 all-grade proficiency was 60.41% in ELA, 57.94% in Math and 67.01% in Science, versus state rates near 40–41%. Standouts include 5th-grade Science at 73.74% vs. 43.07% and 7th-grade ELA at 68.69% vs. 39.91%. One item to watch: 8th-grade Civics fell from 59.79% to 48.42%, though still above state. Free/reduced-lunch data is blank for all three schools, and spending figures are from 2020–2021, when Tri-County spent the most at $22,415 per student and had the smallest student/teacher ratio, 11.6, without leading on test scores.
