Summary

Granada Huntley East Chain High School is a small public high school in Granada, Minnesota, serving 98 students in grades 9–12 as the high school for the Granada Huntley East Chain district in a small-town southern Minnesota setting. In 2025–2026, the Granada Huntley East Chain district ranked 371st of 458 Minnesota districts, in the 19th percentile with 1 star, while the school ranked 398th of 473 schools, in the 16th percentile with 1 star.

Academic proficiency is the school’s clearest weakness. In 2025–2026 all-grade MCA results, the school had 10.5% math, 24.0% reading, and 16.3% science, below the state’s 44.9% math, 48.6% reading, and 25.5% science. It was also below every nearby comprehensive high school: Martin County West Senior High (15.2% math, 47.6% reading, 31.0% science), Blue Earth Area Secondary (34.6%, 40.7%, 35.9%), Truman Secondary (12.8%, 38.8%, 34.0%), and Fairmont Junior/Senior High School (36.8%, 38.0%, 27.5%). By contrast, completion outcomes are a relative strength: the school had a 100.0% graduation rate and 0.0% dropout rate in 2024–2025, the strongest among the compared schools and better than the state’s 84.9% graduation rate and 4.2% dropout rate.

Recent trends are concerning. The school’s overall rank fell from the 50th percentile in 2021–2022 to the 16th percentile in 2025–2026; reading proficiency dropped from 56% in 2023–2024 to 24% in 2025–2026, and science fell from 33.33% to 16.3%. Subgroup effectiveness is low across multiple student groups, including male, female, and low-income students, rather than being isolated to one group. Context matters: the free/reduced lunch rate was 51.02% and the student/teacher ratio was 11.2 in 2024–2025. Nearby Truman Secondary had a higher free/reduced lunch rate (54.84%) and a lower student/teacher ratio (10.0) but higher reading and science proficiency, while Blue Earth Area Secondary had similar poverty (50.0%) and much higher proficiency. Southern Plains Area Learning Cntr. is an alternative/cooperative setting, not a direct peer, with 0% math and state-suppressed reading/science figures.
