Summary

Granada High is a large, high-performing public high school serving grades 9-12 for over 2,150 students in the Livermore Valley Joint Unified School District, consistently ranking among the top schools in the state.

The school excels with a near-perfect 98.5% graduation rate, very low chronic absenteeism at 10.1%, and particularly strong performance in English and Science compared to its district peer, Livermore High. However, mathematics proficiency is a noted area for improvement, especially when compared to top schools in neighboring districts like Dublin High, Foothill High, and Amador Valley High in the higher-ranked Dublin Unified and Pleasanton Unified districts.

While Granada High effectively supports many student groups and achieves these results with efficient spending, there is some volatility in performance for specific populations, indicating a need to strengthen consistent support systems. Overall, it is a leading school within its own district with a strong culture of attendance and engagement, identifying clear pathways for continued growth.
