Summary:
Zip code 96038 is served by one K-8 school, Grenada Elementary, which acts as both the elementary and middle school for the area within the Grenada Elementary district.
For parents, the most important information is that Grenada Elementary shows clear strengths in student engagement and older grade literacy, but faces significant challenges in math and science. The school maintains a strong attendance culture, with chronic absenteeism notably lower than the state average. In English Language Arts, students in grades 6 through 8 perform at or above state averages, with 8th graders scoring particularly well, which is an encouraging sign for literacy development in the later grades.
However, academic performance is mixed. Math and science scores are well below state averages, and there is a concerning trend where math proficiency declines sharply as students advance in grade. The school's statewide ranking has also decreased over the past few years. With per-student spending above many state averages, the focus for improvement likely needs to be on how instructional resources and curriculum are targeted, especially in strengthening foundational math skills and science education across all grades.
