Summary:
The Franklin Borough School District in New Jersey has only one elementary school, Franklin Borough School, which serves grades PK-8 with an enrollment of 502 students. While the school receives higher-than-average per-student funding, its academic performance, particularly in Mathematics and Science, is a significant area of concern, with proficiency rates well below state averages in these subjects.
Franklin Borough School's overall statewide ranking places it between 740-854 out of 1,342-1,347 New Jersey elementary schools over the past 3 school years, indicating a low performance level. The school's English Language Arts proficiency rates are mixed, with some grades performing above the state average and others below. However, the school's Mathematics proficiency rates range from 8.1% to 54.5%, with most grades performing significantly below the state average. In Science, the school's proficiency rates are very low, ranging from 6.7% to 21.5%, well below the state averages.
Additionally, the school's chronic absenteeism rate of 14.9% is higher than the state's target of 10% or less, which could be a contributing factor to the school's academic challenges. The school serves a relatively high-need student population, with nearly half of the students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting that the school may need to explore additional strategies or resources to address the needs of its student population and improve learning outcomes.
