Summary:
Franklin School is an elementary school in Provo, Utah, serving 366 students in grades PK-6. It is part of the Provo District, which is ranked 43 out of 100 in the state and has a 3-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of Hispanic students (56.56%) and significant percentages of White (31.97%) and Pacific Islander (4.37%) students.
Despite its diverse student body, Franklin School consistently underperforms compared to the Provo District and the state of Utah in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2022-2023, only 38% of 3rd graders, 18.8% of 5th graders, and 22.4% of 6th graders were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to the Provo District scores of 48.1%, 51.3%, and 50.5%, respectively. The school's performance in mathematics and science is also significantly lower than the district and state averages. Additionally, Franklin School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 65.85% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, which is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Lakeview School (20.49%) and Provost School (61.08%).
Despite having a relatively low student-teacher ratio of 18.2 in 2022-2023 and spending more per student ($10,050 in 2018-2019) than the nearby schools, which range from $5,355 to $9,817 per student, Franklin School consistently ranks in the bottom half of Utah elementary schools, with a ranking of 494 out of 561 in 2022-2023, and has maintained a 1- or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger over the past several years. This suggests that the school's challenges in academic performance, socioeconomic status, and overall school ranking are not being adequately addressed, and further investigation into the specific factors contributing to these challenges may be necessary to improve the quality of education for the students at Franklin School.
