Summary:
The Granton Area School District has a single elementary school: Granton Elementary, serving grades PK–6 at 217 N Main St in Granton, Wisconsin, with 132 students enrolled. Because it is the only elementary school in the district, there is no other local school to compare it against; the most useful comparisons for parents are with district and state averages.
Attendance is the school's clearest strength. In 2024–25, Granton Elementary's chronic absenteeism rate was 2.7%, about half the district's 5.4% and roughly one-sixth of the state's 17.3% — a strong sign of family engagement. The 4th grade cohort was the academic bright spot in 2025–26: ELA proficiency was 64.29% versus 53.87% statewide, math was 57.14% versus 52.87%, and science was 57.14% versus 53.46%. Science and social studies also rebounded sharply from 2024–25, when science stood at 26.67% and social studies at 33.33%.
Results in other grades are more uneven. In 2025–26, 3rd grade ELA was 25% versus 52.08% statewide, 5th grade ELA was 22.22% versus 53.63%, and 5th grade math was 27.78% versus 51.81%. With only 132 students, a few students can shift a grade's percentage substantially, so year-to-year swings should be read cautiously. The school has held 1 star and around the 27th percentile for three straight years, while the district ranks 402 of 432 statewide (7th percentile, 0 stars) — so Granton Elementary sits above the district overall but remains below state averages in most ELA and math grades. Half of students qualify for free/reduced lunch, per-student spending is $17,139, and the student-teacher ratio is 11.9.
