Summary:

Granada Huntley East Chain Elementary School is a public elementary school serving 147 students in grades PK-5 in the small town of Granada, Minnesota. The school is part of the Granada Huntley East Chain School District, which is ranked 339 out of 463 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While the school has a significantly higher percentage of white students (90.48%) compared to the state average, its academic performance lags behind. The school's proficiency rates on the MCA-III assessments are consistently lower than the state averages across all grades and subjects, with just 37.5% of students proficient in Math and 38.1% proficient in Reading. Additionally, the school serves a high percentage of economically disadvantaged students, with 68.71% qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This suggests the school may be facing challenges in supporting the academic achievement of its student population.

When compared to nearby schools, such as Trimont Elementary, Granada Huntley East Chain Elementary generally performs worse on academic measures. For example, Trimont Elementary has significantly higher proficiency rates in Math and Reading across all grades. This indicates that the challenges faced by Granada Huntley East Chain Elementary may be unique to the school or district, rather than a broader regional issue.

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.
