Summary

Granada High is a small public high school serving grades 9-12 in the town of Le Grand, California, with just 38 students enrolled. Unfortunately, this school has struggled significantly, consistently ranking in the bottom 20% of California high schools and receiving the lowest possible 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Granada High's academic performance is extremely low, with only 20.69% of students proficient in English Language Arts and just 3.45% proficient in Math on state assessments - far below the district and state averages. The school also grapples with very high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 40% to over 97% in recent years, and over 92% of its students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating high poverty levels. In contrast, Le Grand High, located just 0.01 miles away, performs significantly better across multiple metrics, ranking in the middle 50% of California high schools.

The challenges faced by Granada High extend beyond just this one school. Other high schools in the Merced area, such as Merced High and Golden Valley High, also outperform Granada High by wide margins. Additionally, schools serving at-risk student populations, like Come Back Charter, Yosemite High, and Gateway High, struggle with similarly low performance, suggesting the need for significant interventions and support to improve educational opportunities for students in this region.
