Best Public Schools in Franklin, TN

Summary:

The city of Franklin, Tennessee is home to a diverse array of 25 schools, including 14 elementary schools, 6 middle schools, and 5 high schools, all part of the highly-ranked Williamson County school district. This district is ranked 2 out of 139 districts in Tennessee and is rated 5 stars out of 5 by SchoolDigger, indicating the overall quality of education in the area.

Several schools stand out as top performers, including Clovercroft Elementary School, ranked 4th out of 1,008 elementary schools in Tennessee, and Creekside Elementary School, ranked 12th. At the high school level, Franklin High School and Fred J. Page High School are ranked 13th and 17th out of 374 high schools in the state, respectively. These top-performing schools demonstrate the academic excellence found within the Williamson County district.

However, the data also reveals a significant gap in test scores and performance between the highest and lowest-performing schools in the area. While some schools like Clovercroft Elementary and Franklin High achieve proficiency rates well above the state average, others like Vanguard Virtual High School and Poplar Grove 5-8 struggle to meet state standards. This disparity highlights the need for continued investment and support to ensure all students in the Franklin area receive a high-quality education.
