Academically, Franklin Township School has consistently ranked in the middle range of New Jersey elementary schools, with mixed performance on NJSLA assessments. While some grades and subjects, such as 6th grade ELA and Math, perform above the state average, others, like 3rd grade ELA and Math, fall below. However, the school's 5th and 6th-grade students outperform the state average in ELA, with 65% and 70.6% proficiency, respectively, compared to the state's 52.3% and 53.2%. The school's chronic absenteeism rate of 16.6% in 2022-2023 is higher than the state average, which could be an area for improvement.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Port Colden School and Lopatcong Elementary School, Franklin Township School generally performs in the middle range, with some schools in the surrounding Washington Township School District and Lopatcong Township School District outperforming it on academic measures. However, the school's higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes suggest it may have access to more resources than some of its neighbors.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
