Summary:
Granby, Massachusetts has just two public schools serving about 665 students: East Meadow, an elementary school for grades PK–6 with 375 students, and Granby Junior Senior High School, which covers grades 7–12 with 290 students. Because there is no separate middle school, seventh and eighth graders attend the junior/senior high. The Granby district as a whole ranks 251 of 351 in Massachusetts, at the 28th percentile with 1 star, and it operates as a two-speed district: a strong elementary school and a high school still working to reach state averages.
East Meadow is the academic standout. It has climbed steadily in the rankings — from the 38th percentile (2 stars) in 2023–2024 to the 43rd percentile in 2024–2025 and the 54th percentile (3 stars) in 2025–2026. In 2025–2026 its all-grade scores were at or above the state in English/language arts (40.29 vs 40.03) and math (41.75 vs 41.11), and well above the state in science (57.89 vs 40.98). Grade 3 ELA and math (both 60.61) and grade 5 science (57.89) were its strongest spots, while grade 6 math (31.03 vs 42.59) was the weakest.
Granby Junior Senior High School tells a different story. It reports a 100% graduation rate and a 0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, a real strength, but its proficiency is below state in every subject: ELA 29.46, math 26.55, and science 32.20. Math is the weakest area, including grade 8 math at 22.41 (19.26 points below state) and grade 10 math at 29.27. Its rank fell from the 53rd percentile and 3 stars (2023–2024) to the 26th percentile and 1 star (2024–2025), then rebounded to the 31st percentile and 2 stars (2025–2026). Both schools improved in all three subjects year over year. Spending and staffing are similar at the two schools and do not track performance, and free/reduced-lunch data was unavailable for both.
