Summary:
ZIP code 98932 has three public schools serving prekindergarten through 12th grade: Roosevelt Elementary for PK–4, Granger Middle School for grades 5–8, and Granger High School for grades 9–12, all operated by the Granger School District. Together, they enroll about 1,438 students and serve an area with very high economic need, as reflected by free- and reduced-price lunch participation of roughly 88% to 93%.
Roosevelt Elementary is the strongest academic performer in mathematics. About 43% of students are proficient in math, nearly matching the statewide rate and substantially exceeding the district average of about 22%. Third-grade math is particularly strong, while English language arts is a significant area for improvement, with proficiency near 28% compared with about 53% statewide. The school also has the most favorable student-teacher ratio in the area, at 16.5 to 1, and its ranking has improved in recent years. These results make Roosevelt’s math program a notable local strength, although parents should expect a considerable gap between math and reading performance.
Granger Middle School and Granger High School show the greatest need in secondary mathematics. Middle-school math proficiency is about 14%, while high-school math proficiency is only about 9%; both schools also trail the state substantially in English and science. Seventh grade is a relative bright spot at the middle school, especially in ELA. At the high school, the 89% graduation rate is a major strength—above the statewide rate—despite low test proficiency, particularly in math. Science improved at both secondary schools, and high-school ELA remains slightly above the district average. Overall, families should view graduation and school completion as positives while paying close attention to math support, literacy development, and academic preparation for college or career training.
