Granada School District No. Re-1

The Granada School District No. Re-1 in Colorado operates two schools: Granada Elementary School and Granada Undivided High School. Both schools serve a predominantly Hispanic student population and face significant socioeconomic challenges, with high rates of free and reduced lunch recipients. Unfortunately, the academic performance of these schools is well below state averages, with low proficiency rates on standardized tests like CMAS and SAT.

Granada Elementary School has 119 students, with 68.91% identifying as Hispanic and 28.57% as non-Hispanic white. The school's proficiency rates on CMAS/Science (25%) and CMAS/English Language Arts (37.5% in grade 5, 18.8% in grade 6) are significantly lower than the state averages. Granada Undivided High School, with 94 students, has an even higher percentage of Hispanic students (77.66%) and lower proficiency rates on CMAS/Science (16.7%) and SAT/Reading and Writing (41%) and Mathematics (24%) compared to state averages.

The data suggests that the Granada School District as a whole is struggling to provide quality education to its students, with both schools performing well below state standards. The high rates of poverty, as indicated by the free and reduced lunch rates, and the racial disparities in the student population may be contributing factors to the low academic performance. The declining school rankings over time further highlight the need for the district to address these systemic issues and implement strategies to improve educational outcomes for all students.
