Summary

Franklin Park School is a PK–5 elementary school in Franklin Park, New Jersey, serving 671 students in the Franklin Township Public School District. Its clearest academic concern is math: the school’s average proficiency across grades 3–5 is 42%, 5 percentage points below the state average, and its fourth-grade result is the lowest among the 11 nearby schools with reported results.

ELA is a relative strength, though results vary by grade. The school’s average ELA proficiency is 52%, compared with 49% statewide and 45% in the district; third-grade ELA is 9 points above the state, while fifth grade is weaker at 47%, 5 points below the state and the lowest among seven nearby schools reporting fifth-grade results. Math is also weak compared with nearby schools: fourth-grade proficiency is 40%, the lowest of the 11, and fifth grade is the lowest among the seven schools with results. Grade-five science is 22%, below the state’s 27% and the lowest among seven nearby schools with results.

Results have shifted over time: fifth-grade ELA fell 22 points over two years, and the school’s average math proficiency dropped 6 points from 2024–2025. The overall ELA average is down 5 points since 2022–2023, although it remains above the state average. SchoolDigger ranks the school 706th of 1,331 New Jersey elementary schools, at the 47th percentile with 2 stars; it places eighth among the 11 nearby schools. Chronic absenteeism improved from 19% in 2022–2023 to 12% in 2024–2025, below the latest district and state rates. The student-teacher ratio was 9.3 in 2024–2025, and 45% of students were eligible for free/reduced-price lunch that year. SchoolDigger’s subgroup rankings differ notably: English Language Learner Students rank at the 78th percentile, compared with 47th overall, while the Special Education Students ranking fell from the 58th to the 34th percentile in one year.

Franklin isn't the best thought of district but this is a great school. It's like a little United Nations - incredibly diverse but with everyone getting a long. Teachers are hard working and committed. i've had two kids go through this school and I couldn't be happier. Close Quote
