Granby Elementary School

Summary:

Granby Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 331 students in grades PK-5 in Granby, Colorado, which is part of the East Grand School District No. 2. While the district is ranked 39 out of 116 in the state, Granby Elementary has consistently underperformed, with low standardized test scores and a 1 or 2-star rating from SchoolDigger for most of the past decade.

Compared to the nearby Fraser Valley Elementary School, also in the East Grand School District, Granby Elementary has a more diverse student population with a higher percentage of Hispanic students. However, its academic performance is significantly lower, with only 21% of students proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 37.2% for the district and 34.2% for the state. Granby Elementary's performance is particularly low for male students and white students, ranking in the bottom half of Colorado elementary schools for these subgroups.

The high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Granby Elementary, ranging from 32% to 38% over the past three years, suggests that socioeconomic factors may be contributing to the school's academic challenges. Additionally, the stark contrast in performance between Granby Elementary and the nearby Fraser Valley Elementary, which is part of the same district, highlights the need for a deeper investigation into the factors driving these differences and the potential equity issues that may be present at Granby Elementary.

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.
