New Franklin Middle-High

Public Grades 6-12

Summary

New Franklin Middle-High is a public school serving grades 6-12 in New Franklin, Missouri, with 209 students. Over the past decade, the school's statewide ranking has fluctuated, ranging from a high of 88th out of 401 Missouri high schools in 2015-2016 to a low of 362nd out of 404 in 2016-2017. In the most recent school year (2022-2023), the school ranked 320th out of 352 Missouri high schools and received a 0 out of 5 star rating from SchoolDigger.

New Franklin Middle-High has maintained relatively high four-year graduation rates, ranging from 93.7% to 97.2% over the past few years, which is higher than the state average and compares favorably to nearby schools like Harrisburg High (93.8%) and Fayette High (95.7%). However, the school has struggled with high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 15.0% to 24.4% in recent years, which is significantly higher than the state average and most of the nearby schools.

New Franklin Middle-High's test scores on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) are generally below the state averages, particularly in mathematics and science. For example, in 2024-2025, the school's projected proficiency rates in 8th grade math (15.9%) and 8th grade science (27.7%) are well below the state averages of 32.7% and 39.2%, respectively. The school also has a relatively high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 30.62% to 39.74% in recent years, which is higher than the nearby schools. These factors suggest that socioeconomic challenges may be playing a significant role in the school's academic performance, though these issues are not unique to New Franklin Middle-High and are shared by many of the surrounding schools in the New Franklin R-I district and the region.
