Franklin High: No single number tells this school's story. Here's the honest picture.
Franklin posts 22% meeting the standard and 5.8% exceeding it, against 36% and 15.8% statewide. The gaps and the bright spots below are the real read.
| Scope | % Exceeded | % Met+ | Grad rate | College readiness | Absence | Suspension | |

| This school | 34 | 6% | 22% | 93.7% | 0.0% | 37.4% | 6.9% |
| CA average · High School | 47 | 16% | 36% | 86.6% | 33.9% | 30.2% | 3.6% |
Franklin High scores 34 of 100 on SchoolScope's Scope Score — the 27th percentile of 2,160 California high schools (CDE CAASPP 2025).

🌱 Building Momentum — This label means the data doesn't clearly sort the school one way or the other — ask what the school is proud of, and what it's working on.
Most rating sites would stop at “22% proficient” and call it done. Franklin deserves a closer read. The school sits in Stockton, where three in four students qualify for free or reduced lunch — and reading the numbers without that context misreads the school.
The seven-year arc
Has stayed near the 27th percentile since 2019.
Proficiency here is back to its pre-pandemic level — 22% meet the standard, about where the school stood in 2019.

The story this school is actually telling
Of 100 students here: 22 are proficient by 11th grade → 94 graduate → 0 pass an AP exam. The gaps between those bars are the questions to ask.
The 7 things our score weighs
California's own answer to the same question
California runs its own growth model — it follows individual children in grades 4 through 8 and compares each one against a prediction from their own prior scores. On that measure this school sits a little below the middle of California high schools in reading, and the 2nd in math. We show it; we don't score it.
— pts vs expected is scale-score points above or below what California's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores. It is not a percentage and not a percent of anything. A typical California high school lands at −3 in reading, and the middle half of them fall between −13 and +5 — the spread is wide, so read the rank, not the sign. CDE blends two consecutive years into each published figure, so adjacent years share input data and no year-over-year trend can honestly be drawn from them. It covers grades 4-8 only, and it is not part of the Scope Score — we assessed it and left it out: it tracks school demographics roughly three times as strongly as our own growth measure does, and one published year is not enough to test how stable it is.
Ask what the school is working on next. Strong numbers tell you where a school is, not where it's going.
- Ask how the school follows up when a student starts missing days — chronic absence often starts outside the classroom, not inside it.
- Ask what share of students complete the full college-prep course sequence, and who gets steered into it.
- Ask whether the tour can step into a working classroom — watch how the teacher handles a student who's stuck.
- Ask to tour while school's in session, and notice how hallways and transitions feel — culture shows up between classes, not just in them.
- Ask how the school communicates with families when a child starts to struggle.
- Ask what a typical day looks like for a new student in the first few weeks.
How every group of students does here
At Franklin High in Stockton, 33.5% of low-income students met or exceeded the ELA standard in 2025, compared to 27.1% district-wide and 38.2% statewide. Franklin High outperforms its district average for low-income students by 6.4 percentage points in ELA. Other subgroups: Low-Income students (7.7% Math proficient); Hispanic students (33.9% ELA proficient). The largest proficiency gap is 37.3 percentage points for english learner students. Data source: California Department of Education, CAASPP 2024-25. 410 students tested.
California follows these children individually and predicts each one's score from their own prior year. Each row is read against the same group at a typical California high school — not against zero, and not against this school's all-students figure, because the state's expectation already differs by group.
— A group not listed at all had fewer than 11 students with a growth score, so California published nothing for it here. That is a privacy protection, not a judgment about those students. — Context only. None of this enters the Scope Score.
Showing up, and staying in class
Grades 9–12 students miss school at roughly three times the rate of Grades 7–8 students (38.4% vs 11.3%). Chronic absence here concentrates in the upper grades.

Of Franklin's class of 2023, 54% enrolled in college somewhere within a year — a CSU, a community college, a UC, or out of state.

In fall 2025, 16 of Franklin's 478 graduates enrolled in the University of California system — Davis the most common landing, with 8 enrollees.
7 of 9 campuses are masked below UC's privacy floor — a protection, not a verdict.
campuses never sum to the universitywide figure — students apply to several
Peak: 24 enrolled, 2019
UC publishes this trend back to 1994 — no other destination has a comparable multi-year record
UC is one road of many — the full destination mix for the class of 2023 is below. And who applied isn't who the school taught: the ratio between the two reflects the self-selected pool of students who chose to apply, not what happened in the classroom. By the state's 2023 count, 54% of this class's predecessors enrolled in college somewhere within a year. More of the class of 2023 enrolled at community colleges (181) than at UC (17).

The people teaching here
Pay is set by the district, not the school.
What gets spent here
These measure different things: this figure is spending attributed to this campus, while district-wide figures also include central administration, districtwide programs, and the state's pension contributions made on the district's behalf — costs that never get assigned to a single school. The district number runs higher at nearly every school, not just this one.
$1,613 per student arrives as federal Title funding — a measure of concentrated need, not school quality.
The district's current expense of education per student, from CDE's annual SACS filing — the freshest district spending figure the state publishes.
District-level, from the district's own SACS general-ledger filing — school-by-school breakdowns aren't published by the state.

Whole scale-score points above or below what CDE's model predicted for these same children from their own prior-year scores — not a percentage, not a percentile. Statewide a typical school lands near +1 with a spread of about 13 points either side, so read a figure against its group's own typical value, not against zero. “Not categorised” is CDE assigning no band — English Only, Recently Reclassified, and English Learners Only receive a value and no band, for every school in the state. It is not a missing number. Most figures blend two consecutive years, so adjacent published years share input data and no trend line can honestly be drawn across them. A group absent from this table had fewer than 11 students with a growth score and was never published. Grades 4-8 only. None of this enters the Scope Score — it is more strongly correlated with school demographics than our own growth measure, and one published year is not enough to test its reliability.
