Among the standout schools, Grand Valley Elementary School performs well on state science tests, with 5th grade proficiency exceeding the state average by over 7 percentage points. The school also has relatively high proficiency rates in math and English language arts across 3rd-5th grades, often outperforming the district and state averages. However, the school struggles with a high chronic absenteeism rate of 24.6%. In contrast, Grand Valley High School achieves a strong 93.8% four-year graduation rate, outpacing the state, and performs well on end-of-course exams in subjects like American Government, American History, and Biology, but lags in Geometry and Algebra I.
Across the schools, chronic absenteeism rates are a concern, ranging from 24-25%, well above the state average. Socioeconomic factors also vary, with the elementary school having a very high free/reduced lunch rate of 74.2%, indicating a high-poverty student population, while the high school has a lower rate of 56.6%. Despite these differences, the schools have relatively similar per-student spending levels and low student-teacher ratios, suggesting that resources may not be the primary driver of the observed performance differences.
