Summary:
The 45005 zip code area is home to three middle schools: Franklin Junior High School, Carlisle Intermediate Elementary School, and Carlisle Junior High School. These schools serve students in grades 6-8 and are part of the Franklin City and Carlisle Local school districts.
Among the three schools, Carlisle Junior High School stands out as the top performer, ranking 270 out of 1,046 Ohio middle schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school consistently achieves high proficiency rates on state tests, particularly in Algebra I, and has a lower chronic absenteeism rate compared to the other schools. Carlisle Intermediate Elementary School also demonstrates strong academic performance, with students exceeding state averages in English Language Arts.
In contrast, Franklin Junior High School has lower test scores compared to the state and district averages, with the exception of Algebra I. This school also has a higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more economically disadvantaged student population. The significant difference in per-student spending between the Carlisle schools and Franklin Junior High School, with the Carlisle schools spending over $3,000 more per student, may contribute to the performance gap.
