Summary

Franklin High School is a 9–12 public school serving 676 students in Franklin, Ohio, part of the Franklin City district. The school ranks 345th of 795 Ohio high schools in 2025–2026 (57th percentile, 3 stars), which is stronger than its district's overall standing of 46th percentile (2 stars). Its recent trajectory is encouraging: after a weaker 2024–2025 at the 41st percentile, Franklin rebounded to the 57th percentile, close to its typical historical range. The graduation rate is 96.4%, up from 92.7% in 2021–2022, and chronic absenteeism improved to 26.1% from 34.2%. Test scores beat Ohio averages in five of six End-of-Course subjects, with Geometry the exception. About 57.29% of students qualified for free or reduced lunch in 2023–2024, and the student-teacher ratio was 21.1 in 2024–2025.

Compared with nearby schools, Franklin sits in the middle. Springboro High School and Lebanon High School rank higher (92nd and 79th percentile) and have much lower absenteeism (9.4% and 18.8%). Franklin is nearly tied with Carlisle High School (58th percentile) and ahead of Miamisburg High School, Middletown High School, Marshall High School, and Summit Academy Secondary School - Middletown. Franklin's clearest academic strengths are social studies and biology, with American History at 86.1% proficient versus Ohio's 73.2%. Geometry remains the persistent weak spot at 39.5% proficient, below the state's 43.3%.

The school stands out for how well it serves several groups: low-income students (81st percentile, 4 stars), special education students (73rd percentile, 4 stars), and female students (70th percentile, 4 stars). Male students (45th percentile, 2 stars) and gifted and talented students (42nd percentile, 2 stars, down from 67th percentile) rank below the school's overall standing. Keep a few data gaps in mind: the per-student spending figure of $10,395 dates to 2018–2019, and the 2024–2025 free/reduced lunch figure is not provided, so long-term trends should be read cautiously.
