Summary:
ZIP code 56039 is home to a single elementary school, Granada Huntley East Chain Elementary School, a PK–5 school with 138 students in the Granada Huntley East Chain district in Granada, MN, where 57.25% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.
Because it is the only elementary school in the ZIP code, families have no in-area alternatives to compare, so the most useful context comes from district, state, and grade-level results. In 2025–2026, the school posted 24.7% proficiency in Math, 34.7% in Reading, and 7.7% in Science. Math was essentially tied with the district (24.4%) but about 20 points below the state (44.9%); Reading was close to the district (35.6%) but roughly 14 points below the state (48.6%); Science trailed both the district (12.0%) and the state (25.5%). Notably, school and district grade-level figures are identical in every reported row, suggesting this school is effectively the district's only elementary provider for those grades. Reading is the relative strength, while Science is the clearest concern, falling from 22.22% in 2024–2025 to 7.7% in 2025–2026 — a drop of about 14.5 points. Math held steady year over year, and Reading slipped slightly.
Results also vary sharply by grade. Third grade is the strongest: 43.5% proficient in Math and 41.7% in Reading. By fifth grade, Math falls to 11.1%, Reading to 29.6%, and Science to just 7.7%, so the academic challenges are concentrated in the upper elementary grades, especially Math and Science. The school holds a 1-star rating and ranks 371 of 458 districts (19th percentile); its school rank percentile has declined from 24 in 2023–2024 to 20 in 2024–2025 to 17 in 2025–2026, placing it in the bottom quarter of ranked Minnesota schools. Its student-teacher ratio of 13.5 (about 10 teachers for 138 students) may be a relative resource strength, though no district or state ratio is provided for comparison. All test-score values in this record are exact, with no suppressed results.
