Summary

Tgu-Granville Elementary School is a small public school serving grades PK-8 in Granville, North Dakota, with an enrollment of just 85 students. While the school's overall academic performance on standardized tests is mixed compared to state and district averages, it stands out in certain areas, particularly its strong 6th grade Math and Reading proficiency rates.

Tgu-Granville Elementary School has maintained relatively high spending per student, ranging from $17,369 to $18,126 over the past four school years, which is higher than the state average. This may indicate a focus on providing resources and support for the school's small student population. Additionally, the school has an extremely low student-teacher ratio, ranging from 6.2 to 7.7 over the past three school years, suggesting a high level of individualized attention and support for students. However, the school has seen a significant increase in the percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, from 11.11% in 2021-2022 to 28.24% in 2023-2024, indicating an increase in the economic challenges faced by the school's student population.

Compared to nearby schools, such as Nedrose Elementary School and Velva Elementary School, Tgu-Granville Elementary School's performance on standardized tests is generally on par with or slightly below, but its 6th grade Math and Reading proficiency rates are significantly higher. Additionally, Tgu-Granville's spending per student is significantly higher than these nearby schools, which may be due to the school's small size and the need to maintain resources and support for a small student population.

IMPORTANT NOTE: North Dakota does not publish exact assessment percentages; instead, results are reported as ranges (e.g., 20-29%) to protect student privacy in smaller groups. The proficiency rates displayed on SchoolDigger are calculated using midpoint imputation—the center value of each reported range. Actual values may differ by up to 5 percentage points from the figures shown.

SchoolDigger data sources: National Center for Education Statistics, U.S. Department of Education, the U.S. Census Bureau and the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction.

About North Dakota Assessment Data: To protect student privacy, the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction reports assessment results as percentage ranges rather than exact values. SchoolDigger calculates proficiency rates using midpoint imputation, which uses the center value of each reported range. For example, a reported range of 20-29% is represented as 24.5%. As a result, the proficiency rates shown may vary by approximately ±5 percentage points from actual values. This variance is most significant for individual grade/subject combinations and diminishes when data is aggregated across multiple grades or subjects.

IMPORTANT DISCLAIMERS: Not all boundaries are included. We make every effort to ensure that boundaries are up-to-date. But it's important to note that these are approximations and are for general informational purposes only. To verify legal descriptions of boundaries or school locations, contact your local tax assessor's office and/or school district.
