Summary:

Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S is a public middle school in Granada, Minnesota, serving 84 students in grades 6-8. 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 predominantly white student population, it has consistently underperformed compared to the state and nearby schools, such as Martin County West Junior High and Blue Earth Area Middle. Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S's proficiency rates in Math (19.51%), Reading (32.1%), and Science (11.11%) are significantly lower than the state averages. Additionally, the school has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 36.2 to 47.2 over the past three school years, and an increasing proportion of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 64.29% receiving free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023.

The school's statewide ranking has steadily declined over the past few years, from 215 out of 521 Minnesota middle schools in 2020-2021 to 434 out of 545 in 2023-2024. This suggests that the school is struggling to keep up with the performance of other middle schools in the state, particularly in supporting the academic achievement of female, male, and white students, as well as students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. The data indicates that Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S may need to implement targeted interventions and strategies to improve the educational outcomes for its 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.
