Granby High

Summary:

Granby High is a public high school in Norfolk, Virginia, serving 1,837 students in grades 9-12. The school has a diverse student population, with a majority of African American and Hispanic students. However, Granby High has consistently ranked in the bottom half of Virginia high schools and has a low 1-2 star rating from SchoolDigger.

Granby High's performance varies significantly across different student subgroups. For example, the school ranks 196th out of 314 Virginia high schools for White students, but only 210th out of 249 for African American students. The school's performance is particularly low for military-connected students, ranking 73rd out of 92 Virginia high schools. Granby High's test scores are generally below the state and district averages across various subject areas and grade levels, with proficiency rates as low as 30.38% in SOL/VA and US History for 10th grade.

Compared to nearby schools in the Norfolk City Public Schools district, such as Booker T. Washington High, Matthew Fontaine Maury High, and Norview High, Granby High's performance is generally lower. These nearby schools tend to have higher statewide rankings, better SchoolDigger ratings, and stronger academic performance across various subject areas and student subgroups. The high percentage of economically disadvantaged students at Granby High may be a contributing factor to the school's overall academic challenges.

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.
