How good is Franklin Elementary?

Franklin earns a 4 out of 10 GreatSchools rating. On straight state proficiency it runs below the Utah average, which is common for a Title I community school where many students are still learning English. The fuller picture matters here: Franklin keeps very small classes, around 13 students per teacher, and layers on the wraparound support that comes with community-school status. Buyers who choose Franklin tend to weigh that hands-on attention, and the school’s tight-knit community, alongside the raw scores.
