Summary

Franklin High School is a large public high school in Franklin, Tennessee, serving 1,729 students in grades 9–12 as part of Williamson County Schools, the #3 ranked district in Tennessee. The school has earned a 5-star rating and consistently ranks among the top schools in the state, placing #11 out of 400 Tennessee high schools for 2025–2026. Its 95.9% graduation rate in 2024–2025 exceeds the state average of 90.5%, and its 1.7% dropout rate is far below the statewide rate of 6.7%.

The school's academic profile features standout performance in humanities and advanced math. U.S. History proficiency reached 82.3% in 2025–2026, nearly double the state average and ahead of nearby Ravenwood High School (80.3%) and Fred J Page High School (81.3%). English II proficiency is 89.7%, compared with 58.1% statewide. Algebra II is also strong at 77.8%, with 10th graders posting 93.6% proficiency. The one relative weakness is Algebra I: the school's 59.4% proficiency trails the district's 62.7%, a gap persisting for several years. The school sits in a competitive cluster — Ravenwood High School (#7), Renaissance High School (#13), Brentwood High School (#16), and Independence High School (#17) are all in the state's top 20.

The school's biggest concern is chronic absenteeism. At 15.1%, its rate is roughly double the district's 7.4% — only Centennial High School (19.5%) and Renaissance High School (24.1%) are higher among nearby traditional high schools. On the equity front, the school excels: low-income students ranked #2 in the state, African American students placed in the 96th percentile, and special education students jumped from the 72nd to the 93rd percentile in a single year. The contrast with schools just 11 miles away in Metro Nashville Public Schools is stark — James Lawson High School posts just 35.9% English II proficiency and John Overton High School 39.6%, compared with 89.7% at Franklin High School.
