Summary

Franklin School is a public elementary school in Provo, Utah, serving 398 students in prekindergarten through sixth grade as part of Provo District. The school serves a higher-need community, with 72.11% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and its 18.5:1 student-teacher ratio is typical of nearby schools. However, its 2025–2026 ranking—548th of 563 Utah elementary schools, or the 3rd percentile—places it well below both the district and nearby schools.

Academic performance is weak across all tested subjects and grade levels. In 2025–2026, Franklin’s ELA proficiency ranged from 11.1% in third grade to under 20% in fourth grade, with sixth grade reported as 10–30.5%. Mathematics results included 17.4% in third grade, under 20% in fourth grade, and 16.3% in fifth grade. Science performance was also low, including under 20% in fourth grade and 21% in fifth grade. These results are far below district and state averages. By comparison, nearby Wasatch School ranked in the 91st percentile, while Lakeview School, Westridge School, and Provo Peaks School ranked between the 62nd and 68th percentiles.

Attendance is one of Franklin’s most significant challenges. Chronic absenteeism was 40.2% in 2024–2025, compared with 22.3% in the district and 23.8% statewide. Even nearby Timpanogos School, which serves a similarly high proportion of economically disadvantaged students, had lower absenteeism at 28.4% and outperformed Franklin in every reported tested subject and grade. Franklin’s results suggest a broad school-improvement need involving attendance, early-grade literacy and mathematics, instructional consistency, and support for students facing economic challenges. Its persistent low ranking, including a decline from the 9th percentile to the 3rd percentile, makes these priorities especially important.
