High Schools in Franklin County Public Schools

Summary:

Franklin County Public Schools operates a single high school, Franklin County High, which serves as a standout institution within the district. This high school is ranked in the top half of all Virginia high schools for the 2023-2024 school year and boasts a strong 4-year graduation rate of 92.8%, significantly higher than the state average.

Franklin County High's academic performance is consistently strong, with test scores exceeding both district and state averages across subjects like Geometry, Algebra I, Algebra II, and English Reading.

Nevertheless, Franklin County Public Schools can be proud of the exceptional education provided by Franklin County High, which serves as a model of academic excellence within the district.
