Summary

Franklin Junior High School is a public middle school serving grades 7-8 in Franklin, Ohio, with 401 students. The school has been ranked in the middle range of Ohio middle schools in recent years, typically between 300-550 out of around 1,000 schools, with a SchoolDigger rating of 2-3 stars out of 5.

One key challenge for Franklin Junior High School is its high and increasing chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 16.2% in 2022-2023 to 25.9% in 2024-2025 - notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Lebanon Junior High (16.7%) and Hadley E Watts Middle School (14.9%). Additionally, the school's test scores are generally below the state averages, especially in mathematics, though it performs better in science and English language arts.

Interestingly, the schools surrounding Franklin Junior High School vary greatly in their performance and rankings, with some highly ranked (4-5 stars) and others struggling (1 star). This suggests that the quality of education can vary significantly even within a relatively small geographic area. The school also faces equity concerns, as its performance varies significantly across different student subgroups, with lower rankings for multi-racial and special education students. Addressing these challenges and learning from higher-performing nearby schools could present opportunities for Franklin City to improve student outcomes at Franklin Junior High School.
