The school is part of the Malone Central School District, which is ranked 813 out of 874 school districts in New York and has a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin Academy High School faces several challenges, including a slightly below-average 4-year graduation rate ranging from 82.2% to 85.5% and a higher-than-average dropout rate ranging from 4.5% to 9.1%. The school's test scores are generally below the state averages, with some notable exceptions, such as strong performance in Regents/Common Core Algebra II and Regents/Common Core English Language Arts. The school's performance on various student subgroups is mixed, with white students and students with special needs performing relatively poorly compared to other New York high schools. Additionally, Franklin Academy High School has a high chronic absenteeism rate, ranging from 27.2% to 36.6%, significantly higher than the state average.

Interestingly, nearby schools like Salmon River High School have similar performance to Franklin Academy High School, while Chateaugay High School outperforms Franklin Academy High School in most academic metrics. However, Franklin Academy High School has performed exceptionally well for homeless and foster care students, ranking 28th and 1st, respectively, out of New York high schools in 2017-2018. The school's significant increase in spending per student, from $12,446 in 2020-2021 to $26,814 in 2023-2024, may also warrant further investigation into how these additional resources are being utilized to improve student outcomes.
