Summary

Franklin Elementary in San Antonio, TX, is a mid-sized school serving 676 students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade in the Northside Independent School District (Isd), and it stands out as a solid, above-average school with a notable strength in mathematics. The school has consistently earned a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past five years, a decline from its pre-pandemic 4-star status, but it remains a strong option for families. Franklin excels in math, with 4th graders scoring 58% proficient—far outpacing nearby Reed Elementary (33%) and Ward Elementary (32%)—and outperforming the district average in 8 of the last 9 math tests. It also has a lower rate of economic disadvantage (36% free/reduced lunch) compared to Ward (58%) and Reed (48%), which often correlates with higher academic performance.

Franklin is particularly effective for specific student groups, ranking in the 83rd percentile statewide for special education students and the 76th percentile for male students and Hispanic students in the most recent year. However, its performance is inconsistent for other groups, such as white students and multi-racial students, and its gifted and talented program shows volatility, swinging from the 80th to the 43rd percentile in recent years. The school’s closest rival, Tomlinson Elementary (0.42 miles away), has a lower economic disadvantage rate (26%) and is improving rapidly, now competitive in reading, though Franklin still leads in math. Meanwhile, top performers like Fields Elementary and Kallison Elementary consistently outperform Franklin in both reading and math, making them stronger options for families seeking elite academics.

A persistent weakness for Franklin is 5th-grade science, where only 25% of students were proficient in 2024-2025, below the state average of 30%. This area needs targeted improvement. Overall, Franklin is a reliable choice for families in the area, especially those prioritizing math and support for diverse learners, but it faces challenges in maintaining consistent performance across all subjects and student subgroups. It is a clear academic alternative to lower-performing neighbors like Ward and Reed, but families should weigh its strengths against the higher-performing Fields and Kallison schools nearby.
