Summary:
Zip code 58845 has two schools in the Grenora 99 district: Grenora Elementary School, serving PK–6, and Grenora High School, serving grades 7–12; each enrolls 83 students, for 166 combined. The clearest concern across the schools is math: their 2024–2025 average was 32% proficient, 9 percentage points below the state’s 41%, and their latest reported combined range remains below the state.
The schools’ strongest results differ by subject. In 2024–2025, Grenora Elementary School led in math with 44% proficient, compared with 20% at Grenora High School—a 24-point gap; Elementary was 3 points above the state, while High was 21 points below. High stood out in science at 45%, versus Elementary’s 39%, and was 7 points above the state. Reading was nearly even: High had 45% and Elementary 44%, with both above the state’s 40%. The latest two-school math average is reported as 35–53.5%, compared with a state result of 54%; even the range’s upper end is 0.5 point below the state.
SchoolDigger’s latest rankings favor High, while the schools’ rank histories moved differently: Elementary went from the 35th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 58th and then the 19th, while High rose from the 42nd to the 58th percentile and stayed there; in 2025–2026, SchoolDigger ranked Elementary 174th of 216 (19th percentile, 1 star) and High 54th of 129 (58th percentile, 3 stars). Test-score ranges for 2025–2026 are too broad to establish clear year-to-year changes, though Elementary math was 44% in 2024–2025 and is now reported as 40–48%, while High moved from 20% to a reported 30–59%. As context, both schools reported 19% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; student-teacher ratios were 8.3 at Elementary and 10.2 at High.
