Summary

Franklin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in the Syracuse City School District, with 646 students. However, the school has consistently ranked among the lowest-performing elementary schools in New York state, with a 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for the past several years.

Franklin Elementary School significantly underperforms compared to the state and district averages on standardized tests, with only 23.6% of 3rd graders proficient in ELA in the 2024-2025 school year, compared to 54.15% statewide and 26.82% in the Syracuse City School District. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio of 14.5, compared to other nearby schools like Seymour Dual Language Academy (7.9) and Delaware Primary School (9.3).

Despite the high needs of the student population, Franklin Elementary spends only $26,620 per student, which is lower than the district average of $27,303 per student at Frazer K-8 School and $28,450 per student at Salem Hyde Elementary School. While Franklin Elementary School struggles, some nearby schools in the Syracuse City School District, such as Huntington K-8 and Lemoyne Elementary, demonstrate higher academic performance, suggesting that factors beyond just student demographics may contribute to the school's challenges.
