Franklin Elementary School is the district's academic anchor and the standout by nearly every measure.

Its chronic absenteeism is 10.4%, well below the district's 16.5%, and every listed 2025–2026 test area is above the state proficiency rate, by roughly +17.6 percentage points on average. Math Grade 4 reached 90.0% proficient versus 67.3% statewide. Note that its free/reduced-lunch figure is not reported in the available data, so it is unknown rather than zero.

The two Jefferson schools are more mixed. Jefferson Middle School is strong in English language arts and science (ELA Grade 6 at 78.9% vs state 56.0%; Science Grade 8 at 71.7% vs 61.2%) and in Algebra I (70.6% vs 61.6%), but its math results are uneven, with Math Grade 5 at 47.4% against a state rate of 59.1%. Jefferson High School excels in American History (88.2% vs 73.2%), Biology (81.6% vs 67.0%), and English II (75.0% vs 62.7%), and its graduation rate is 91.5%. However, Geometry fell to 41.5% and Algebra I to 59.5%, both below state, and its chronic absenteeism of 25.7% is the highest in the district; it rated 3 stars in 2025–2026.
