Grenada Elementary

The Grenada Elementary area has one listed school, Grenada Elementary, a K–8 school serving 210 students. In 2025–26, its all-grades proficiency was 38% in ELA, 23% in math and 35% in science, compared with California’s 49%, 38% and 36%, respectively. Chronic absenteeism was 8%, versus 18% statewide. The clearest academic concern is math, particularly in sixth grade.

Grenada Elementary is both the area’s highest- and lowest-performing school by default, not because it has outperformed local peers; there is no school-to-school comparison. Among subjects, science is closest to the state result, just 1 percentage point lower, while math is 15 points lower and ELA is 12 points lower. Grade results vary considerably: sixth-grade ELA was 12%, 36 points below the state, and sixth-grade math was 4%, 33 points below. By contrast, third-grade math reached 50%, 3 points above California’s 47%. Fifth-grade science was 37%, 2 points above the state, while eighth-grade science was 32%, 3 points below.

Science improved most over time: proficiency rose 18 points between 2024–25 and 2025–26, and its gap with the state narrowed from 16 points to 1. ELA fell 4 points, with its state gap widening by 4 points; math rose by 1 point, but its gap widened slightly. SchoolDigger ranks the school at 3,453 of 5,804, in the 41st percentile with two stars in 2025–26; its percentile rose 3 points overall from 2023–24, after dipping in 2024–25. Other context includes a 19:1 student–teacher ratio and $34,546 per student in 2024–25, plus 48% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–25; these figures do not explain the test results.
