Grandfield

The two schools in Grandfield span PK–12: Grandfield Elementary School serves PK–8 and has 142 students, while Grandfield High School serves grades 9–12 and has 76. In 2025–2026, both schools were below the state in English Language Arts I; their equal-weighted average was 18% proficient, compared with 26% statewide. The clearest shared concern is therefore ELA I, where the area average trails the state by 9 points.

Neither school leads across every subject. In 2025–2026 mathematics, Elementary scored 27% and High 15%, a 12-point advantage for Elementary; Elementary was 2 points above the state, while High was 10 below. In ELA I, High scored 20% to Elementary’s 15%, a 5-point lead, though both were below the 26% state result. The schools also traded leads in 2024–2025, when Elementary led math by 7 points and High led ELA I by 8. That year’s science results showed the widest split: 48% at Elementary versus 16% at High. High’s 2024–2025 graduation rate was a bright spot at 95%, compared with 78% statewide, even though its 2025–2026 results were below state levels in every reported subject, including science (18% versus 30%) and U.S. History (21% versus 41%).

Across the two shared subjects, the average proficiency gap with the state narrowed from 7 points in 2024–2025 to 6 points in 2025–2026, with improvement driven by math; average ELA I proficiency slipped by 1 point, from 18% to 17.5%. SchoolDigger ranked High at the 27th percentile in 2025–2026, up from the 23rd percentile the prior year but below its 50th-percentile ranking in 2023–2024. Other measures offer useful context: the student–teacher ratios were 15.3 at Elementary and 18.8 at High, and free/reduced lunch eligibility in 2024–2025 was 95% and 86%, respectively. Reported chronic absenteeism was also below the state’s 16% at both schools: 0% at Elementary and 4% at High. Because the schools serve different grade spans, their all-grades results are not perfectly like-for-like comparisons.
