Summary

Franklin is a grades 1–5 elementary school in North Andover, MA, serving 383 students in the North Andover district, a suburban area that also includes the nearby Andover and Lawrence districts. Franklin currently ranks 264th of 899 Massachusetts elementary schools in 2025–2026, placing it in the 71st percentile with 4 stars. That is above its district’s 64th percentile and above every same-district grade 1–5 elementary school in the comparison set. Its history shows stronger earlier results—80s percentile from 2015–2016 through 2019–2020, an 85th percentile in 2021–2022—then a slip to 69th in 2024–2025 and a modest rebound to 71st in 2025–2026.

Math is Franklin’s clearest strength. In 2025–2026, 61.83% of students met proficiency in math, which is 10.24 percentage points above the district and 20.72 points above the state. Third- and fourth-grade math are especially high at 68.29% and 63.74%, roughly 19–26 points above the state and 14–19 points above the district. English Language Arts is solid but less distinctive: 46.25% proficient, above district and state but below Annie L Sargent School, Bancroft Elementary, and West Elementary. Science is the relative weak spot at 44.12%, slightly below the district and below Thomson, Annie L Sargent School, Bancroft Elementary, and West Elementary. Overall, Franklin is the top-ranked grade 1–5 school within North Andover, but it trails the top Andover schools and sits far above nearby Lawrence schools like Robert Frost, Emily G Wetherbee, and South Lawrence East Elementary School.

For resources, Franklin had a 13.1 student-teacher ratio in 2024–2025, higher than Thomson and Atkinson, but lower than Annie L Sargent School. Per-student spending was $15,879 in 2020–2021, moderate compared with nearby schools. Subgroup data show relative strengths: Special Education students ranked in the 77th percentile and Low Socioeconomic Status students in the 75th percentile in 2025–2026, though the Low-SES rank has declined from 97th in 2023–2024. Free/reduced-lunch percentages are unavailable, and spending data are several years old. Overall, Franklin is a strong math-focused school that outperforms its North Andover peers, while science and ELA have room to grow.
