One notable strength of Franklin Township School is its consistent high performance in Algebra I, where students have achieved 100% proficiency at the end of course and in 8th grade, significantly higher than the state average. However, the school also struggles in some areas, such as 3rd grade Mathematics and 8th grade Science, where its proficiency rates are lower than the state average. Additionally, the school's relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at 6.27% may suggest that the student population is not representative of the broader community, which could raise equity concerns.
