Summary:

Franklin Towne Charter Elementary School is the sole public charter elementary school serving grades K-8 in the area, with a total enrollment of 957 students. While the school's performance is below the state average in several key metrics, it exhibits some strengths that are worth noting.

Academically, Franklin Towne Charter Elementary School struggles, particularly in mathematics, with proficiency rates ranging from 12% to 53.7% across different grade levels, well below the state average. However, the school's English Language Arts (ELA) proficiency rates are closer to the state average, ranging from 38.1% to 55.2% proficient or better. The school's science proficiency rates are also below the state average, with 62.6% proficient or better for all grades.

The school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 69.49% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2023-2024. This demographic factor may contribute to the school's academic challenges, and the school's slightly higher student-teacher ratio and relatively high per-student spending suggest potential staffing and resource allocation issues that could be impacting student performance. Overall, Franklin Towne Charter Elementary School appears to be a school in need of targeted interventions and support to improve its academic outcomes, particularly in the area of mathematics.
