Summary

Granger High School is a public high school serving about 433 students in grades 9-12 in the Granger School District, a community facing significant economic challenges where the district ranks among the lowest in the state.

Academically, the school faces considerable hurdles, with student proficiency in math and science falling well below state averages; for example, only about 16% of students are proficient in math compared to over 42% statewide. Interestingly, the school is located less than five miles from Zillah High School, which achieves much higher test scores with lower per-student spending, demonstrating that strong outcomes are possible in the region. Despite its academic struggles, Granger maintains a notable strength: its 89% graduation rate is above the state average and outperforms some nearby schools like Sunnyside High School.

The school invests significant resources, spending over $20,000 per student—more than most area schools—while serving a student population where nearly 90% qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. A key bright spot is its effective support for Migrant Students, where its performance ranks in the top 20% of schools in the state. However, challenges remain with a dropout rate higher than the state average and low performance rankings for other student subgroups. Compared to local alternative schools like Computer Academy Toppenish High School, Granger provides a more successful mainstream pathway to a diploma for many students in the area.
