Best Public Schools in New Franklin, MO

Summary:

The city of New Franklin, Missouri is home to two schools - New Franklin Middle-High and New Franklin Elementary, both part of the New Franklin R-I school district. While the elementary school is a standout performer, the middle and high school face significant challenges.

New Franklin Elementary is ranked in the top 20% of Missouri elementary schools, with a consistent 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its students are projected to outperform the state average on 5th grade MAP tests in Science and English Language Arts. In contrast, New Franklin Middle-High is ranked in the bottom 10% of Missouri high schools, with a persistent 1-star rating and below-average student performance on 8th grade Math and Algebra I MAP tests.

Both schools have similar student-teacher ratios, but New Franklin Middle-High spends more per student than New Franklin Elementary. This suggests a need to re-evaluate resource allocation to better support the lower-performing high school. Additionally, both schools face challenges with a 15% chronic absenteeism rate, an area that could benefit from targeted interventions.
