Tuition
The Franklin Special District accepts students outside our district on a tuition basis as program capacity is available. The tuition rates are listed below and provide an exceptional value for a high-quality education. In fact, the FSD per pupil expenditure is #1 in the State at $19,268 compared to the state average of $11,800. (2023 TN Report Card)
The per-pupil expenditure measure reflects the total expenditures by the district divided by the number of students enrolled in the district. This provides insight into the size of the investment that districts are making in their students. The FSD is also #1 in the state in teacher-student ratio for traditional public schools.
Williamson County Residents
If you live in Williamson County, you may apply for tuition at $2,000 annually per student. This fee takes into account the tax dollars that you pay as a county resident, but not the FSD property tax. Families with multiple students receive a 50% discount on all students after the first student.
Outside Williamson County
If you live outside Williamson County, you may apply for tuition at a cost of $4,000 annually per student. This fee reflects uncollected tax dollars that are earmarked for education in our county and district.
