Summary:

North Franklin School District serves 2,058 students across eight schools, from kindergarten through grade 12, along with virtual and alternative programs in the North Franklin area. The district’s overall ranking is below the statewide midpoint, but school performance varies considerably. The strongest recent success is at Mesa Elementary, while math achievement—especially in middle and high school—is the district’s most important challenge.

Mesa Elementary stands out as the district’s strongest improving school. It rose from the 24th to the 59th percentile over three years and earned a three-star rating in 2025–2026. It also had the highest reported elementary or middle school results in English language arts, math, and science. Basin City Elementary showed encouraging gains in math and science, although its English results declined. Connell Elementary had moderate results overall, with particularly low fifth-grade math performance. At Robert L Olds Junior High School, achievement was below the district in math and science, making the transition to secondary grades an area worth watching.

Connell High School combines the district’s highest graduation rate, 97.3%, with a strong 55.47% English result and a substantial year-over-year improvement in English. However, its 12.5% math proficiency is the lowest reported result in the district. North Franklin Virtual Academy has limited and partly suppressed data, while Palouse Junction High School and CRCC-Open Doors are very small programs, so their percentages should be interpreted cautiously. Overall, families may want to compare school-specific results rather than rely only on the district average, with math support, science improvement, and continued study of Mesa’s successful practices as key priorities.
