Summary

Franklin Elementary in Wichita Falls, TX, is a K-5 school serving 442 students in the Wichita Falls Independent School District (Isd), and it has transformed from a low-performing school into a solidly above-average one over the past decade.

Franklin Elementary stands out as a clear outperformer within its district, rising from the 17th percentile in 2015-2016 to the 67th percentile in 2025-2026—a remarkable 50-percentile-point improvement. This places it in the top third of all Texas elementary schools, far exceeding the district average (35th percentile). The school's reading scores are a major strength, with 5th-grade proficiency at 71.79% in 2025-2026, well above the state average (58.47%) and a staggering 21 percentage points higher than the district average (50.59%). Franklin is part of a "high-performing trio" alongside Crockett Elementary (67th percentile) and Milam Elementary (68th percentile), consistently outperforming other nearby schools like Zundelowitz Elementary (5th percentile) and Booker T Washington Elementary (4th percentile).

The school is exceptionally effective at educating its male students, who ranked in the 78th percentile statewide in 2025-2026, and its Gifted and Talented program is a standout, ranking in the 76th percentile. However, there is a significant achievement gap for students from low socioeconomic backgrounds, who ranked in the 26th percentile. Franklin operates with high efficiency, spending $9,524 per student—the lowest among comparable schools—while achieving better results than schools spending more, such as Burgess Elementary ($13,598) and Southern Hills Elementary ($12,503). This suggests effective instructional practices and a strong school-wide strategy that has been refined over time.
