Summary:
The 53548 zip code is home to a single public middle school, Franklin Middle, which serves grades 6-8. Franklin Middle is part of the Janesville School District, which is ranked 255 out of 426 districts in Wisconsin and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.
Franklin Middle has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Wisconsin middle schools, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger. Its test scores in core subjects are significantly lower than the district and state averages, and the school faces challenges related to high poverty and chronic absenteeism, with 70.16% of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch and a 17.7% chronic absenteeism rate. Despite relatively high spending per student ($12,459) and a low student-teacher ratio (10.9), the school's academic performance has not improved.
The struggles of Franklin Middle appear to be reflective of broader issues within the Janesville School District, which has a low overall ranking and rating. Addressing the challenges faced by Franklin Middle will likely require a comprehensive, district-wide approach to improve educational outcomes for students in the 53548 zip code and the broader Janesville community.
