Summary

Washington-Franklin Elementary is a public elementary school in Farmington, Missouri, serving 346 students in grades 1-4. The school is part of the Farmington R-VII School District, which is ranked 90 out of 367 districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Washington-Franklin Elementary consistently outperforms the state average in both Mathematics and English Language Arts (ELA) assessments for grades 3 and 4. In the 2024-2025 school year, 46.6% of 3rd graders and 47.8% of 4th graders were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to the state averages of 41.4% and 43.8%, respectively. Similarly, 55.5% of 3rd graders and 58.6% of 4th graders were proficient or better in ELA, exceeding the state averages of 41.8% and 44.8%. This strong academic performance is a key differentiator for Washington-Franklin Elementary.

Despite having a high percentage of students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with 53.76% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Washington-Franklin Elementary has consistently ranked in the top 25% of Missouri elementary schools serving low-income students. The school's higher funding levels, with spending per student increasing from $8,615 in 2018-2019 to $10,965 in 2020-2021, and its relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 13.2 to 14.5, may contribute to its success in supporting its high-needs student population. However, the school's high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 17.7% to 23.6% over the past few years, are an area of concern that the school may need to address.
