Summary

Franklin Elementary is a public elementary school in San Antonio, Texas, serving 370 students in grades PK-5 as part of the San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD).

Franklin Elementary consistently outperforms the SAISD and Texas state averages on STAAR (State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness) tests, with particularly strong performance in STAAR Spanish Reading and Mathematics. The school's English Language Learner (ELL) and low-socioeconomic status (SES) students rank in the top 10-25% of Texas elementary schools for their respective subgroups, while the school's special education and gifted and talented students have struggled, ranking in the bottom 25-30%. Franklin Elementary's relatively high per-student spending of $11,922, compared to the district average of $10,257, may contribute to its academic success.

While Franklin Elementary appears to be a high-performing school within the SAISD, with a track record of strong academic achievement, the disparities in subgroup performance highlight the need for the school and district to address these achievement gaps. Targeted interventions, specialized support, and equitable resource allocation may be necessary to ensure all students, regardless of their background or learning needs, have the opportunity to succeed. Nearby schools like Agnes Cotton Academy and Olmos Elementary may provide additional options for families in the area.
