Achievement is the share of tested students who scored on grade level on the state’s tests. Florida grades every public school A to F from those test results, students’ learning gains, science and social studies results and, for middle and high schools, acceleration and graduation measures, the columns of the state’s file show. For a school, A is 65% of possible points or more, B is 60% to 64%, C is 45% to 59% and D is 35% to 44%, the file says.

The full report card, with test results by subject and student group, is on the state’s school report card for Franklin Academy. It is an interactive dashboard; the figures above come from the state’s downloadable file, linked from its school grades page.

How admission works

Franklin Academy is a public charter school, so it has no attendance zone. If the school receives more applications than it has seats, a random lottery decides admission, and applicants must live in the same county as the campus, according to the school’s FAQ. Its enroll page says each Franklin Academy campus runs its own lottery.

The district’s charter school directory lists the school’s current charter term as July 1, 2018, to June 30, 2028.
