Summary

Franklin School is an elementary school in Provo, Utah, serving grades PK-6 with 388 students. It is part of the Provo District, which is ranked 49 out of 93 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Despite being part of the Provo District, Franklin School has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a 1-star or 0-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past 10 years. This is due to several key factors, including very high chronic absenteeism rates ranging from 23.8% to 45.2%, significantly lower test scores than the district and state averages, and a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 56.34% to 71.39%.

When compared to nearby schools in the Provo District, such as Lakeview School, Provost School, Wasatch School, and Westridge School, Franklin School stands out as an outlier, with significantly lower performance across various metrics. Addressing the underlying issues of chronic absenteeism and the high concentration of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds could be crucial in improving student outcomes at Franklin School.
