Summary:
Zip code 77856, serving the community of Franklin, Texas, is home to three public schools within the highly-ranked Franklin Independent School District (Isd), which ranks 23rd out of 951 districts in the state and provides a complete K-12 pipeline through Roland Reynolds Elementary (PK-4), Franklin Middle (5-8), and Franklin High School (9-12).
Among the three schools, Franklin Middle stands out as the most exceptional, ranking in the 94th percentile among Texas middle schools and earning a 5-star rating. Its 8th-grade Algebra I students achieved a perfect 100% proficiency rate on the STAAR EOC exam, far exceeding district and state averages. Roland Reynolds Elementary is also a top performer, ranking in the 94th percentile with exceptional 4th-grade math scores (85.71% proficient vs. 49.28% statewide). Franklin High School, while still well above average with a 4-star rating and an impressive 99% graduation rate, is the lowest-ranked school in the district, suggesting a slight dip in performance at the secondary level.
Key metrics reveal a district that consistently outperforms state averages across all subjects and grade levels, with small class sizes (student-to-teacher ratios between 11.4:1 and 12.7:1) and a moderate economic disadvantage rate of about 39-40%. A notable pattern emerges in middle school math: proficiency drops to 34.15% in 7th grade before rebounding to 84.72% in 8th grade, likely because top 8th graders take Algebra I separately. This 7th-grade math score is the only metric in the district that approaches the state average, indicating a critical area for improvement. Overall, families in 77856 benefit from a cohesive, high-performing district where elementary and middle schools shine, and the high school ensures nearly every student graduates.
