Summary

Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S is a public middle school located in Granada, Minnesota, serving grades 6-8 with a total enrollment of 85 students. The school is part of the Granada Huntley East Chain School District, which is ranked 361 out of 446 districts in Minnesota and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

The school's academic performance is a significant concern, as it consistently performs below the state average in both math and reading proficiency on the MCA-III assessments across all grade levels. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's math proficiency rate for all grades was 22.37%, compared to the state average of 45.21%, and its reading proficiency rate was 26.67%, compared to the state average of 49.59%. The school's performance has been declining over the past few years, with its statewide ranking dropping from 215 out of 521 Minnesota middle schools in 2020-2021 to 423 out of 519 in 2024-2025.

Compared to the nearby Martin County West Junior High and Blue Earth Area Middle, Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S performs significantly worse in both math and reading proficiency. For instance, in the 2024-2025 school year, Martin County West Junior High had a math proficiency rate of 48.94%, compared to Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S's 22.37%. This suggests that the challenges faced by Granada Huntley East Chain Middle S may be unique to the school and not necessarily reflective of the broader educational landscape in the region.
