As the only elementary school in the area, it serves as the central educational hub for the community. Nearly half of its students (47.52%) qualify for free or reduced lunch, reflecting a moderate level of economic disadvantage. The school operates with a student-teacher ratio of 17.6 and per-student spending of $9,493.
Grangeville Elementary/Middle School is a mid-performing school that has shown meaningful improvement in recent years. Its state ranking climbed from the 23rd percentile in 2024–2025 to the 36th percentile in 2025–2026, and it currently holds a 2-star rating. ELA is the school's clear academic strength, with 52.6% of students proficient overall, nearly matching the state average of 54.0%. The school outperformed the state in 3rd, 5th, 7th, and 8th grade ELA, with especially strong results in 3rd grade (59.6% vs. 48.5%) and 5th grade (64.3% vs. 55.2%). Science proficiency (41.7%) aligns closely with the district and state averages, and 5th grade science stands out as a particular strength at 50.0% proficiency.
However, significant challenges remain. Math proficiency declined sharply to 36.1%, trailing the state by 7.0 percentage points, and no grade level reached the state average in math. The largest deficits appear in 4th grade (−18.4 points) and 7th grade (−10.9 points), suggesting targeted intervention may be needed in those transition years. Science also dropped dramatically year-over-year by 11.3 points, with 8th grade science (33.3%) falling well below the state (42.9%). Chronic absenteeism is a minor concern at 14.9%, slightly above the state average. For parents, this school offers solid ELA instruction and an improving overall ranking, but math and middle-grade science are areas that need attention.
