Summary:

Schools in the Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public (District) area of Massachusetts consist of a single school: Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School, a K–8 charter school in Franklin serving 898 students. Although it teaches kindergarten through eighth grade, this data set classifies it as an elementary school, with no separate middle or high school counted, so all of the district's results come from this one campus. There is no other school in the area to compare it against, but its results are strong when measured against state averages.

The school is ranked 49th out of 351 districts statewide (86th percentile, 4 stars), and among individual schools it has landed at roughly the 83rd–84th percentile with 4 stars in each of the last three school years. Every reported 2025–26 MCAS Next Generation subject and grade score is above the state average. Science is the standout subject overall at 67.01% proficient versus 40.98% statewide, a gap of +26.03 percentage points; 5th grade science, at 73.74% versus 43.07%, is the highest single score in the data. Other peaks include 5th grade math at 70.00% versus 39.50% (+30.50 points) and 7th grade ELA at 68.69% versus 39.91% (+28.78 points). All-grades results were 60.41% in ELA, 57.94% in math, and 48.42% in 8th grade civics, all above state.

Comparing years, ELA rose slightly to 60.41% and science improved to 67.01%, widening the school's lead over the state to +20.38 and +26.03 points respectively. Math dipped slightly to 57.94%, narrowing its edge to +16.83 points. Eighth grade civics fell from 59.79% to 48.42%, though it stayed 8.65 points above the state; with only one grade tested and a different cohort of students, this drop is best read cautiously. The student-teacher ratio is 11.7 (2024–25) and per-student spending was $15,030 (2020–21). Free or reduced-lunch data is not reported, and no school-to-school comparisons are possible within the district.
