Summary:
The 54436 zip code area is home to two schools - Granton Elementary and Granton High, both part of the Granton Area School District. While the schools have some standout elements, such as a relatively high percentage of Hispanic students at the elementary level and an improving statewide ranking at the high school, they also face challenges in academic performance, attendance, and graduation rates.
Academically, both schools perform below state averages in key areas like ELA and math proficiency. Granton Elementary has mixed results, with proficiency rates ranging from 30-52%, while Granton High's proficiency rates range from 7-54%, again mostly below state averages. However, Granton High does better on 10th grade social studies. Attendance and graduation are also concerns, with Granton High having a higher-than-average chronic absenteeism rate and dropout rate, as well as a lower four-year graduation rate compared to the state.
Despite the higher per-student spending and smaller class sizes at both schools, the data suggests the schools may not be effectively leveraging their resources to drive student achievement. Addressing the academic performance gaps, attendance and graduation challenges, and ensuring equitable resource allocation could be key focus areas for these schools and the district moving forward.
