Grenada Elementary's academic performance, as measured by Smarter Balanced Assessments, is generally below the state average across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts/Literacy ranged from 12% (4th grade) to 44% (5th grade), compared to the state average of 42.8% to 47.37%. In Mathematics, the school's proficiency rates ranged from 5.56% (7th grade) to 30.77% (6th grade), compared to the state average of 31.57% to 45.64%. The school's performance in Science, as measured by the CAST assessment, is also below the state average, with 28% proficiency in 5th grade and 4% in 8th grade, compared to the state averages of 32.68% and 28.95%, respectively. Grenada Elementary's performance varies significantly across different student groups, with female students generally outperforming male students, and white students and low socioeconomic status students performing significantly worse than the state average.

Grenada Elementary's performance is generally lower than the nearby schools in the analysis, such as Butteville Elementary, Montague Elementary, and Little Shasta Elementary. These schools tend to have higher proficiency rates in both English Language Arts and Mathematics, as well as lower chronic absenteeism rates. For example, Butteville Elementary's proficiency rates in 2023-2024 ranged from 47.37% to 72.22% in ELA and 42.11% to 61.54% in Math, significantly outperforming Grenada Elementary. The declining performance of Grenada Elementary over the past several years, along with the significant disparities in student group performance and the stronger performance of nearby schools, suggest the need for a comprehensive review of the school's instructional practices, support systems, and resource allocation to address these challenges and improve educational outcomes for all students.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
