Summary:
In zip code 37064, located in Franklin, Tennessee, there are four public high schools serving grades 9–12, all part of the highly ranked Williamson County Schools district, which holds a 5-star rating and ranks #3 out of 141 districts in the state. The three traditional schools — Franklin High School, Fred J Page High School, and Renaissance High School — are all ranked in the top 18 of Tennessee high schools, while Vanguard Virtual High School is a virtual program ranked much lower at #156.
Franklin High School is the largest school with about 1,729 students and ranks #11 in the state. It posts the strongest overall academic proficiency among the four, with 89.7% proficiency in English II and 82.3% in US History, though its Algebra I proficiency (59.4%) lags the district average. Fred J Page High School has the highest graduation rate at 98.3% and shows strong performance in English II (90.9%) and Geometry (83.3%), but Algebra I remains a weakness at 44.1% proficiency. Renaissance High School is a small school of 174 students that made a big jump to #13 in the state, with notable gains in Geometry (up 19.9 points to 77.8%), but it also has the highest chronic absenteeism rate at 24.1%. Vanguard Virtual High School, with only 117 students, spends the most per student ($21,301) yet has the lowest test scores, especially in math, though its Biology I proficiency (80%) is strong.
For parents, the key takeaway is that the traditional schools in this zip code deliver excellent outcomes: all three exceed state averages in nearly every subject and have graduation rates well above the state's 90.5%. Chronic absenteeism is higher than the district average at every school, even the virtual one, and Algebra I is a common area needing support. While Vanguard offers flexibility and low absenteeism, its wide proficiency gaps suggest it may serve a different student population. Overall, this area provides elite school options, with Fred J Page and Franklin standing out as the most consistent all-around performers.
