Summary:
The Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public (District) contains just one elementary school: Benjamin Franklin Classical Charter Public School, located at 500 Financial Park in Franklin, Massachusetts. Although it is listed as an elementary school, it serves grades K–8 and enrolls 898 students. Its student-teacher ratio was 11.7 in 2024–2025, and per-student spending was $15,030 in 2020–2021. The free/reduced-lunch percentage is blank, so economic context for the student body cannot be assessed from this data.
Academically, the school stands well above state averages. It ranks 49th of 351 districts statewide — the 86th percentile, with 4 stars — and its school-level ranking history has held around the 83rd–84th percentile with 4 stars for three straight years. Every reported 2025–2026 MCAS subject and grade scored above the state average: ELA 60.41 vs 40.03, Math 57.94 vs 41.11, and Science 67.01 vs 40.98. Science is the strongest subject overall, and 5th grade is the clear peak — 5th grade Science reached 73.74 against a state figure of 43.07, and 5th grade Math 70.00 against 39.50. 7th grade ELA was the top ELA grade at 68.69, an advantage of +28.78 points over state. 8th grade Civics was the narrowest lead at +8.65 points.
Year over year, ELA rose to 60.41 from 59.43 and Science improved to 67.01 from 64.10, both widening their leads over state. Math slipped slightly to 57.94 from 58.71 while the state average rose, so its margin narrowed. The notable warning sign is 8th grade Civics, which dropped to 48.42 from 59.79 — a decline of 11.37 points — though it remains above the state's 39.77. Parents should keep two caveats in mind: the spending figure dates to 2020–2021 and may not reflect current funding, and because this school serves K–8 rather than elementary grades only, comparisons with elementary-only schools should be made cautiously.
