Summary:

ZIP code 45005 is served by three middle-level schools spanning two districts: Franklin Junior High School in Franklin City (grades 6–8, 617 students), and both Carlisle Intermediate Elementary School (grades 4–6, 363 students) and Carlisle Junior High School (grades 7–8, 242 students) in Carlisle Local. Together they enroll 1,222 students.

Carlisle Junior High School is the academic standout: it ranks in the 63rd percentile with 3 stars, has the lowest student-teacher ratio at 12.7, and is the only school with test scores averaging above the state in both 2024–25 and 2025–26, with particularly strong Science 8, ELA 8, Math 7, and Algebra I results. Carlisle Intermediate Elementary School has the lowest chronic absenteeism at 11.9% and strong grade 4 ELA and math, but its grade 6 results in 2025–26 fell well below state. Franklin Junior High School is the largest school and has bright spots in Math 8, but carries the highest absenteeism (28.7%), the highest student-teacher ratio (20.5), and the lowest district rating (2 stars, 46th percentile).

A cross-school pattern is that grade 6 is a pressure point: math and ELA scores there sit below state for both Franklin Junior High School and Carlisle Intermediate Elementary School. Note also that the reported 100% Algebra I proficiency at both Franklin Junior High School and Carlisle Junior High School likely reflects a small or advanced cohort rather than a full grade. Both ranked schools dropped sharply in 2024–25 and recovered slightly in 2025–26, with Carlisle Junior High School consistently ahead.
