Summary

Grenada Elementary is a K-8 public school serving 210 students in the Grenada Elementary district, which is ranked in the middle third of all districts in California.

When compared to nearby schools, Grenada presents a mixed picture. A significant strength is its low rate of chronic student absenteeism (12%), which is better than the state average and most area schools like Butteville Elementary and Montague Elementary. However, this strong attendance has not translated into high academic achievement. The school's statewide ranking has declined over the past decade, and its test scores in English, math, and science are below state averages. In math and science, Grenada's proficiency lags significantly behind higher-performing peers such as Butteville.

Performance has been volatile year-to-year, with notable declines in recent years for students from lower socioeconomic backgrounds and for male students. The school spends a moderate amount per student compared to the region, achieving better results than some higher-spending schools like Big Springs Elementary, but not matching the outcomes of similarly-resourced schools. This suggests that while the school manages resources reasonably well, there are likely opportunities to improve how classroom instruction translates daily attendance into consistent academic growth, particularly in upper-grade math and science.
