Summary

Granby Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades PK-5 in Granby, Colorado, with 345 students enrolled. The school is part of the East Grand School District No. 2, which is ranked 33 out of 115 school districts in the state and has a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Granby Elementary has a relatively low student-teacher ratio, the school faces several challenges. It has consistently underperformed the district and state in standardized test scores, with only 22.4% of students proficient or better in CMAS Math, compared to 35.8% for the district and 35.9% for the state. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates, ranging from 27.7% to 31.8%, significantly higher than the 27.7% rate at the nearby Fraser Valley Elementary School. Additionally, Granby Elementary has a high percentage of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 35.65% to 48.7%, compared to 21.76% at Fraser Valley Elementary.

The available data suggests that Granby Elementary's performance has declined over the past several years, with the school's statewide ranking dropping from 494 out of 921 Colorado elementary schools in 2021-2022 to 646 out of 950 in 2024-2025, with a 2-star rating. While the reasons for this decline are not entirely clear, the high rates of chronic absenteeism and economic disadvantage among the student population may be contributing factors. By learning from the practices and strategies employed at the higher-performing Fraser Valley Elementary School, Granby Elementary may be able to identify opportunities for improvement and better support its students.

After the closing of Grand Lake Elementary, the student-teacher ratio is not 13 to 1. My son had 24 kids in his class. Close Quote
