Summary:
The city of Granada, Minnesota is home to three schools that serve students from elementary through high school: Granada Huntley East Chain Elementary School, Granada Huntley East Chain High School, and Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S. These schools, part of the Granada Huntley East Chain district, face academic and socioeconomic challenges, with consistently low performance across subjects and high rates of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch.
Among the standout schools, Granada Huntley East Chain High School stands out for its strong 4-year graduation rate of 91.3% and above-average performance on 10th grade reading tests. In contrast, Granada Huntley East Chain Elementary School has relatively high proficiency rates in 4th grade math and reading, but its overall math and reading scores for all grades are below state averages.
The small enrollments at these schools, ranging from 84 students at the middle school to 147 students at the elementary school, present challenges in terms of resource allocation and course offerings. Additionally, the high rates of free/reduced lunch recipients, from 49.48% at the high school to 68.71% at the elementary school, indicate significant socioeconomic challenges that may contribute to the academic performance issues. To address these challenges, the schools may need to explore opportunities for collaboration and shared resources within the district and with neighboring educational institutions.
