Summary:
Granton, Wisconsin is served by two public schools — Granton Elementary, covering grades PK–6 with 132 students, and Granton High, covering grades 7–12 with 112 students — together enrolling 244 students in the Granton Area School District. The district ranks 402 of 432 in Wisconsin, at the 7th percentile with 0 stars, and both schools carry a 1-star latest ranking: Granton Elementary at 763 of 1039 (27th percentile) and Granton High at 395 of 533 (26th percentile).
Each school has distinct strengths. Granton High reports a 100.0% graduation rate (state: 92.0%), a 0.0% dropout rate (state: 1.1%), and chronic absenteeism of 8.3% (state: 17.3%), and its 10th-grade social studies results were above the state in both years provided. Granton Elementary has exceptionally low chronic absenteeism at 2.7%, and in 2025–26 its 4th graders scored above the state in ELA (64.29% vs 53.87%), mathematics (57.14% vs 52.87%), and science (57.14% vs 53.46%).
The main concern is test proficiency. Across the 37 listed test entries for 2024–25 and 2025–26, only 7 were above the state comparison. Granton High's middle-grade math gaps are severe — 6th-grade math at 8.33% vs 52.98% state and 8th-grade math at 0% vs 53.06% in 2024–25, then 8th-grade math at 10% vs 53.67% in 2025–26 — and 2025–26 ACT ELA was 12.5% vs 48.47% state. With only 132 and 112 students, a few students can move percentages sharply. Both schools spend notably per student ($17,139 elementary, $18,584 high), have low student-teacher ratios of 11.9 and 12.4, and serve communities where about half of students qualify for free/reduced lunch.
