Summary

Franklin High School in Franklin, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 448 students in grades 9-12 within the top-ranked Franklin Independent School District (Isd), which holds a 5-star rating and ranks 23rd out of 951 districts in Texas. The school itself boasts a 4-star rating and consistent high performance, ranking in the 88th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year, with a nearly perfect graduation rate of 99.0% and a dropout rate of just 0.2%.

What truly sets Franklin High School apart from nearby schools like Bremond High School and Hearne Jh/High School is its remarkable consistency and equity. While Bremond shows volatile rankings and Hearne consistently ranks in the single digits, Franklin has maintained a steady position in the 83rd to 91st percentile over the past decade. The school excels in serving all students, particularly those with special needs (ranking in the 98th percentile statewide) and those from low-income backgrounds (ranking in the 86th to 89th percentile). This is especially impressive given that about 40% of its students are economically disadvantaged, compared to Hearne's 90% rate, yet Franklin proves that poverty does not determine outcomes. The school also achieves these results efficiently, spending approximately $14,000-$15,000 per student—significantly less than Hearne's $19,583 per student, which yields far lower performance.

Franklin High School consistently outperforms the state average in core subjects like Biology, English, and U.S. History by 20-30 percentage points. However, there are two areas for growth: Algebra I scores are much closer to the state average, and the school struggles with its English Language Learner (ELL) students, ranking in the 5th percentile in 2023-2024. Despite these challenges, Franklin remains a top choice for parents seeking a stable, high-performing school that prioritizes success for every student.
