Summary:
Zip code 80446, serving the Granby, Colorado area, offers a complete K-12 pathway through three schools within the East Grand School District No. 2: one elementary, one middle, and one high school, serving a combined 1,083 students. The district holds a 4-star rating, yet the individual schools tell a more mixed story, and there are no alternative school options in the area.
Comparing the three schools, Middle Park High School stands out for its strong 94.6% graduation rate and excellent 11th-grade science scores (37.3% proficient vs. 24.8% statewide), but it struggles with SAT math proficiency (19% vs. 32% state) and very high chronic absenteeism at 42.4%. East Grand Middle School is the highest-ranked school in the zip (60th percentile) and shines in ELA (45.9%) and 8th-grade science (43.5%), though it has slipped from a 4-star rating two years ago and shows a concerning drop in 7th-grade math. Granby Elementary School is the weakest link, ranked in the 31st percentile with critically low math proficiency (20.1% vs. 37.3% state), but it has shown improvement over the past two years.
The most consistent issue across all three schools is math—every school falls below state averages, with the most extreme gaps in 4th-grade (13.8% vs. 39%) and 7th-grade math (18.7% vs. 32.9%). Chronic absenteeism is also elevated at every level, from 28.9% at the elementary to 42.4% at the high school, well above the 28.4% state average. On a positive note, secondary science is a clear strength, and students perform near or above average on PSAT tests, though those gains do not carry through to the SAT. Families should weigh the district's solid graduation rates and science instruction against its systemic math challenges when considering this area.
