Summary:
The three public schools in zip code 75763, serving students from Pre-K through 12th grade within the Frankston Independent School District (Isd), form a small but high-performing district ranked in the 86th percentile statewide. Frankston High School stands out as the academic powerhouse, boasting a 97.9% graduation rate and a 0.0% dropout rate, with exceptional proficiency in Biology (86.79%) and U.S. History (77.42%). Frankston Middle is the "Algebra I Accelerator," with 100% of its 8th graders passing the Algebra I End-of-Course exam in a recent year, though it struggles with standard grade-level math, where only 17.95% of 7th graders were proficient. Frankston Elementary provides a consistent foundation, with all three tested grades (3rd-5th) significantly outperforming state averages in Reading, despite having the largest class sizes (16.4:1) and lowest per-student spending ($11,175).
Key metrics reveal a district with 811 students and a moderate economic disadvantage, with free/reduced lunch rates ranging from 40.93% at the High School to 56.69% at the Elementary. The High School receives the highest per-student funding ($14,518) and smallest class sizes (10.1:1), correlating with its strong outcomes. The Middle School (171 students) and Elementary (381 students) show a clear resource disparity, yet the Elementary achieves strong Reading scores, suggesting high efficiency. The district's overall Algebra I proficiency (45.45%) is dragged down by the High School's low scores (22.86%), creating a fascinating disconnect where the Middle School excels in advanced math while the High School struggles with the same subject.
Interesting takeaways include a district-wide strength in Science, with the High School's Biology scores (86.79%) and Elementary's 5th-grade Science (42.62% vs. 29.57% state) both strong. The Middle School's 8th-grade Science (45.45%) is competitive but slightly below the state average. The Elementary's state ranking has improved for three consecutive years, climbing from the 74th to the 83rd percentile, while the High School has also improved, moving from the 70th to the 76th percentile. This upward trajectory, combined with the Middle School's advanced math pipeline, paints a picture of a district that is effectively identifying and accelerating its top students while working to address gaps in standard math instruction.
