Summary

La Granada Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 524 students in Riverside, part of the Alvord Unified School District, and operates in a high-need community where nearly all students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school faces significant challenges, with proficiency rates in English, math, and science well below both district and state averages; its statewide ranking is in the bottom 12%. While the school spends more per student than many nearby schools, such as Valley View Elementary and Terrace Elementary, these resources have not yet translated into stronger academic results. Chronic student absenteeism, though improving, remains higher than at most comparable schools in the area.

There are signs of positive momentum, including recent improvements in math scores and attendance. However, performance varies greatly by grade and student group, with science being a particular area of concern. Compared to other schools in the Alvord Unified district with similar student demographics, like Twinhill Elementary and Rosemary Kennedy Elementary, La Granada's outcomes are lower, suggesting potential opportunities to learn from the practices of higher-performing peers within the same district.
