Summary:
Granby School District is home to a single high school, Granby Memorial High School, serving grades 9 through 12 with an enrollment of 564 students. This well-resourced school is the clear standout in the district and ranks among the top high schools in Connecticut, coming in at #24 out of 133 schools (82nd percentile, 4 stars) for the 2025–2026 school year. It outperforms the district as a whole, which ranks in the 61st percentile statewide, suggesting the high school is the strongest part of the district.
Granby Memorial graduates 95.0% of its students, exceeding both the district rate of 93.0% and the state rate of 91.2%. Academically, 11th graders far surpass state averages in all subjects: 76.4% are proficient in English Language Arts and 75.2% are proficient in Science, compared to state rates of 55.3% and 50.5%, respectively. Math is the relative weak spot, with 45.9% proficient versus a 31.3% state average. The school also maintains a favorable 11.8:1 student-teacher ratio and spends roughly $17,588 per student, while just 15.25% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting an economically advantaged population.
There are a few trends worth watching. Math proficiency fell notably from 53.4% to 45.9%, and ELA slipped from 80.2% to 76.4% over the past year, though Science improved from 67.2% to 75.2%. Chronic absenteeism stands at 12.2%, better than the state's 16.4% but slightly above the district's 11.4%. The school's statewide ranking has also slipped from 5 stars (92nd percentile) in 2023–2024 to 4 stars (82nd percentile) today, though it remains comfortably above state averages and a strong choice for families in the area.
