Summary

Franklin Elementary School is a highly-regarded public elementary school located in Sewickley, Pennsylvania, serving 737 students in grades K-5. As part of the North Allegheny School District, which is ranked 8th out of 606 districts in the state, Franklin Elementary consistently ranks among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania, with a statewide ranking between 2nd and 14th over the past several years.

The school's academic performance is truly exceptional, with PSSA (Pennsylvania System of School Assessment) test scores that are significantly higher than the state and district averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 92% of Franklin Elementary students were proficient or better in PSSA Math, compared to 75.3% in the North Allegheny School District and 41.7% statewide. This high level of academic achievement is likely supported by the school's low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 15 to 15.3 students per teacher, and its higher-than-average spending per student, between $16,084 and $18,578.

While Franklin Elementary School's performance is truly outstanding, it is worth noting that other nearby schools within the North Allegheny School District, such as Peebles Elementary, Hosack Elementary, and Marshall Elementary, also demonstrate strong academic performance and rank highly within the state. Additionally, the nearby Pine-Richland School District and Avonworth School District have their own highly-rated elementary schools, such as Wexford Elementary and Avonworth Elementary, that are competitive with Franklin Elementary in terms of academic achievement.
