Academically, the Grass Range School has struggled to meet state standards, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts (36%), Mathematics (36%), and Science (42.86%) all falling below the state averages. The school's overall proficiency rate of 38.29% is also lower than the Grass Range Elementary district average of 42.42% and the statewide average of 42.67%.
