Summary

Granger Elementary School is a PK–5 school in Medina, Ohio, serving 512 students as part of the Highland Local district, which ranks 13th out of 773 Ohio districts—among the top 2% in the state. Granger itself is equally elite: in 2025–2026 it ranked 27th out of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools, earning 5 stars and a 98th percentile rank. That was its best showing in the available history, improving from 42nd the year before, and it has held 5 stars every year on record.

Test results sit far above state averages. Every 2025–2026 proficiency rate is at least about 25 points above the state average, and most are 28–35 points higher—for instance, Grade 5 ELA at 97.1% (state: 70.4%) and Grade 5 math at 94.1% (state: 59.1%). Grade 5 is a standout, with ELA results the highest among nearby schools. Grade 3 is a relative soft spot within an extremely strong district, running slightly below district averages while still well above the state. Granger also performs strongly across student groups, including special education students, who ranked 13th out of 914 statewide.

Compared with nearby schools, Granger holds its own well. Hinckley Elementary School ranks slightly higher (18th) and has lower chronic absenteeism (3.3% vs. 6.7%), while Sharon Elementary School ranks 63rd. Bath Elementary School is a similar 5-star, low-poverty peer, yet Granger ranks higher (27 vs. 54), has lower absenteeism, lower per-student spending ($8,246 vs. $11,152), and a smaller student-teacher ratio (18.9 vs. 22.0). Granger's 6.7% chronic absenteeism beats the district's 8.3% and is far below schools such as H G Blake Elementary School and Applewood Elementary School.
