Summary

Granada Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 348 students in the Alhambra Unified School District, which is generally high-performing, but this particular school has seen a significant decline in its statewide academic ranking over the past decade.

Academically, Granada's students perform well below both district and state averages in English, math, and science, with proficiency gaps of 20-25 percentage points compared to other Alhambra Unified schools like Park Elementary and Ramona Elementary. The school also struggles with chronic absenteeism, with nearly double the district's average rate, which likely impacts learning. Interestingly, despite these challenges, Granada spends more per student and has smaller class sizes than its district peers, yet these resource advantages have not translated to better test scores.

Within this context, Granada has a notable strength: its program for English Language Learners has consistently been highly effective, ranking in the 73rd to 83rd percentiles statewide in recent years. Performance also tends to improve in the upper grades (6th-8th), suggesting students who stay may experience growth. However, as an outlier in its high-performing district, the school's overall results indicate it faces systemic challenges that require attention to ensure equitable outcomes for all its students.
