Summary:
Franklin Public Schools in Nebraska has one high school, Franklin High School, which stands out as a high-performing institution within the district. With its small student population of 78 and a strong focus on academic excellence, Franklin High School consistently ranks among the top 34-87 high schools in the state, placing it in the top 15-40% of Nebraska's high schools.
The school's academic performance is particularly noteworthy, with its 11th-grade students outperforming the state averages in ACT/English Language Arts, ACT/Mathematics, and ACT/Science proficiency rates. This achievement is even more impressive given that nearly half (47.44%) of the school's students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds and receive free or reduced-price lunch. The school's high spending per student ($37,382) and low student-teacher ratio of 4.4 suggest a strong investment in resources and personalized attention, which may contribute to the school's academic success.
However, the school's lack of racial diversity, with 98.72% of the student population identifying as White, is an area that may warrant further examination to ensure an inclusive and equitable learning environment. Additionally, the small size of the school, while potentially providing advantages in terms of personalized learning, may also present challenges in terms of access to a wide range of course offerings and extracurricular activities. Overall, Franklin Public Schools and Franklin High School demonstrate a strong commitment to academic excellence, but the district may also need to consider addressing issues of diversity and the unique needs of a small school population.
