Franklin County Public Schools

Summary:

The Franklin County Public Schools district in Virginia consists of 14 schools, including 12 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 1 high school. The district is ranked 32 out of 129 school districts in the state and is rated 4 out of 5 stars by SchoolDigger.

Several schools in the district stand out for their exceptional performance. Callaway Elementary ranks 66 out of 1,110 elementary schools in Virginia and has a 5-star rating, with particularly strong proficiency rates in mathematics and science. Snow Creek Elementary ranks 236 out of 1,110 elementary schools and has a 4-star rating, with high proficiency rates across multiple subjects and grade levels. While not the highest-ranked high school in the district, Franklin County High School has a strong 92.8% four-year graduation rate and performs well above the state average on many SOL assessments.

The district as a whole performs well above the state average on many academic measures, but there is significant variation in performance between individual schools. The high rates of free and reduced-price lunch recipients across the district indicate a need to provide additional support and resources to address the challenges faced by economically disadvantaged students. Additionally, the chronic absenteeism rate of 15.7% across all schools is a concern and likely contributes to the academic performance gaps observed between the schools. Overall, the Franklin County Public Schools district is doing an effective job of educating its students, with several standout schools leading the way.
