Summary:
Franklin Township Public School District in New Jersey has only one high school, Franklin High School, which serves students in grades 9-12. The school has a statewide ranking between 277 and 298 out of 429-434 New Jersey high schools, with a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger. While the school's four-year graduation rate of 91.3% is slightly lower than the state average, its dropout rate of 1.0% is relatively low.
Academically, Franklin High School underperforms the state averages in several key areas. In the 2024-2025 school year, only 40.2% of 9th-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA/English Language Arts, compared to the state average of 49.9%. Similarly, only 12% of 10th-grade students were proficient or better in NJSLA/Algebra I, compared to the state average of 17.9%. The school's performance in other math assessments, such as Algebra II and Geometry, as well as NJSLA-S/Science for 11th grade, is also significantly lower than the state averages.
The school faces some demographic challenges, with a relatively high percentage of free and reduced-lunch recipients at 44.86%, indicating a higher proportion of students from low-income families. Additionally, the per-student spending for the 2018-2019 school year was $8,609, which is lower than the state average, and the student-teacher ratio is slightly higher than the state average at 12.6. These factors may contribute to the school's academic underperformance and suggest the need for targeted interventions and support programs to address the unique needs of the student population.
