Grenada Elementary School consistently outperforms the state average in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, the school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (ELA) ranged from 67.1% for 3rd grade to 70.8% for 4th grade, compared to the state averages of 49.4% and 52.1%, respectively.
