The school is part of the Franklin County School District and has seen its statewide ranking fluctuate over the past 10 years, currently ranking 140th out of 264 middle schools in Mississippi with a 2 out of 5 SchoolDigger star rating.

Franklin County Middle School has faced some challenges, including relatively high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 16.8% to 23.9% over the past few years, which are slightly higher than the nearby Franklin Upper Elementary school and Jefferson County Middle School. Academically, the school's proficiency rates on the MAAP exams are generally lower than the state averages, particularly in mathematics, though the 8th grade science proficiency rate was higher than the state average. Compared to the nearby Franklin Upper Elementary, Franklin County Middle School's proficiency rates are generally lower, especially in mathematics.

One significant factor contributing to the school's academic challenges is the extremely high percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 83.52% to 98.53% over the past few years, which is significantly higher than the 81.3% rate at the nearby Franklin Upper Elementary school. This high poverty rate among the student population is likely a major factor in the school's performance struggles, highlighting the need for targeted interventions and support to address the unique needs of the community.
