Granville Central School District

The Granville Central School District in New York consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (Mary J Tanner Primary School and Granville Elementary School) and 1 junior-senior high school (Granville Junior-Senior High School). While the high school is a relative standout, performing above the district and state averages on several metrics, the elementary schools and the district as a whole face challenges in academic performance and student engagement.

Granville Junior-Senior High School has consistently ranked in the top half of New York high schools and has strong performance on Regents exams, with several subjects seeing over 80% proficiency rates. However, the school's graduation rate of 84.3% and dropout rate of 4.9% indicate room for improvement. In contrast, the elementary schools, particularly Granville Elementary School, are struggling to meet state proficiency standards in ELA and Math, with performance often lagging behind the district and state averages.

Across all schools in the Granville Central School District, there are concerns around equity and student engagement. The district as a whole is ranked 614 out of 865 school districts in New York and has a 1-star rating, indicating below-average performance compared to other districts in the state. Additionally, the high free/reduced lunch rates across all schools suggest a need to address socioeconomic disparities and ensure equitable access to resources and support for economically disadvantaged students. Addressing chronic absenteeism, which is particularly high at the high school, should also be a priority for the district.
