Summary

General Grant Middle is a public school serving 526 students in grades 6-8 in Reedley, part of the Kings Canyon Joint Unified School District, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a community where over 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

The school excels in English and math, with proficiency rates well above the state average, and it is particularly effective for its English Learner and economically disadvantaged students, ranking in the 90th percentile or higher for these groups statewide. A major strength is its very low chronic absenteeism rate of 9.1%, which is less than half the state average and indicates a positive and engaging school environment. While performing strongly overall, the school has a notable opportunity to improve its science scores, which are lower than those at its sister school, Navelencia Middle.

Compared to other middle schools in the area, General Grant is a high performer. It significantly outpaces nearby schools like Parlier Junior High, El Monte Middle, and Abraham Lincoln Middle in core subjects. It achieves these excellent outcomes efficiently, even with a higher student-to-teacher ratio than some peers, demonstrating a track record of consistent improvement and effective teaching over the past decade.
