Summary:
Le Grand, California, is served by three public schools across two districts, educating 848 students from kindergarten through 12th grade in a rural community with high levels of economic need.
Among these schools, Le Grand High stands out as the strongest performer, with a graduation rate of 98.3% and the lowest chronic absenteeism at 7.6%, outperforming state averages in several key areas. Le Grand Elementary shows promising improvement, having recently increased its state rating and demonstrating particular strength in English for its older students. In contrast, the very small Granada High faces significant challenges, including an extremely high chronic absenteeism rate of 44.4% and no reported test scores, despite high per-student funding.
Overall, schools in the Le Grand Union High and Le Grand Union Elementary districts are successful at graduating students, with rates well above the state average. However, academic proficiency, especially in math and science, is an area for improvement across the community. The data suggests effective support systems for student completion exist, particularly at the comprehensive high school, while also highlighting specific areas like middle-grade math and attendance at the smallest school that may need targeted attention.
