FRANKLIN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

FRANKLIN EL is a Title I public elementary school that is part of the HOUSTON ISD school district, located in HOUSTON, TX with about 432 students offering grade levels from Pre-Kindergarten to 5th Grade. A Title I school provides supplemental financial assistance to school districts for children from low-income families. Its purpose is to provide all children significant opportunity to receive a fair, equitable, and high-quality education. With about 25 teachers, FRANKLIN EL has a student/teacher ratio of about 17:1. The national average for public schools is about 15:1. A lower student/teacher ratio is a key factor that determines how much a teacher can devote his/her time to each individual student thus improving, or reducing (in the event of a higher student/teacher ratio) the attention each student is given for their educational needs.

FRANKLIN ELementary School, located at 7101 Canal St. in Houston’s East End, is a public school serving the local community as part of the Houston Independent School District (HISD). As a neighborhood school, it focuses on providing foundational primary education to children in the surrounding area, operating under the broader administrative framework and curriculum standards established by the district.

The school is deeply integrated into the historic East End neighborhood, serving a primarily Hispanic community. Like many schools within HISD, FRANKLIN ELementary works to balance core academic instruction in subjects such as reading, mathematics, and science with social-emotional learning and student support services.
