Summary

La Granada Elementary is a K–5 school in Riverside, California, with 524 students in Alvord Unified. Its most important challenge is academic proficiency: in 2025–2026, fewer than one in four students were proficient in each reported subject—24% in English language arts (ELA), 19% in math and 15% in science—and all results were below district and state figures.

Math is the school’s relative bright spot against district and state benchmarks, while ELA has the widest gaps. ELA proficiency was 15 percentage points below the district and 26 below the state; math was 6 and 19 points below, and science was 13 and 21 points below. Locally, however, results were near the bottom among nearby K–5 schools: La Granada ranked second-lowest in ELA, third-lowest in math and second-lowest in science. Its averages were 7 points below nearby schools in ELA, 3 points below in math and 7 below in science. Fourth-grade ELA and fifth-grade math stand out as particular weak spots: results were 20% and 14%, respectively.

Results have improved over the longer term in math and science, but not consistently: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, math rose 6 percentage points and science rose 3, while ELA rose 2 and its gap to the state widened slightly. In the latest year, math fell from 22% to 19%, while science increased from 10% to 15%. SchoolDigger gives La Granada a 1-star rating and an 11th-percentile statewide rank for 2025–2026. Its student-teacher ratio was 21.8 in 2024–2025, among the lower ratios at nearby schools, and 96% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, compared with a nearby-school average of 91%. One notable SchoolDigger subgroup change is for homeless students: the statewide percentile for how well the school serves this group rose from 7 in 2024–2025 to 23 in 2025–2026, while the overall percentile shifted from 12 to 11. Subgroup rankings can be sensitive to small group sizes.
