Summary

Franklin Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-6 in Franklin, West Virginia, with 260 students enrolled. It is part of the Pendleton County Schools district, which is ranked 15 out of 55 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Franklin Elementary School has consistently ranked in the top half of West Virginia elementary schools, with its performance on state assessments generally above the Pendleton County and West Virginia averages, particularly in mathematics. However, the school's performance in English Language Arts is more mixed, and its science scores for 5th grade are consistently lower than the district and state averages. The school's resource allocation, with higher-than-average spending per student and a relatively low student-teacher ratio, suggests the district is investing in the school, but the mixed academic performance indicates the need to evaluate the effectiveness of its instructional practices.

When compared to the other two nearby elementary schools in the Pendleton County district, Franklin Elementary School generally performs better academically, particularly in mathematics. However, Brandywine Elementary School stands out as a high-performing school, consistently ranking in the top 30 schools in the state. This suggests that there may be valuable practices or strategies at Brandywine that could be shared with Franklin Elementary School to help improve its overall performance.
