How good is Franklin Elementary?

Franklin Elementary earns a 4 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. On recent state testing, roughly 22 percent of students scored proficient in math and reading, below the statewide average. Franklin is a Title I school, meaning a large share of its students come from lower-income households, and test scores at Title I campuses often track family circumstances as much as classroom quality.

There is more to the picture than one number. Franklin runs a gifted and talented program, keeps class sizes below the district average at around 18 students per teacher, and serves one of Provo’s more affordable neighborhoods. Buyers who tour often weigh the community and the supports the school provides alongside the rating.
