The school's performance for specific student groups, such as female students, male students, and low socioeconomic status students, is also lower than the state averages for those groups.

These nearby schools also have lower chronic absenteeism rates and lower percentages of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, suggesting a more advantaged student population. However, Granton Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 9.5 to 12 students per teacher, which may provide an opportunity for more individualized attention and support for students.
