Granton High

Summary:

Granton High is a public high school located in Granton, Wisconsin, serving grades 6-12 with a total enrollment of 107 students. The school is part of the Granton Area School District, which is ranked 374 out of 428 districts in Wisconsin and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Granton High has faced some challenges in recent years, with a relatively low four-year graduation rate compared to nearby schools like Pittsville High (97.7%) and Marshfield High (91.3%). However, the school's dropout rate has remained low, ranging from 1.0% to 3.2% over the past five years. One concerning trend is the significant increase in chronic absenteeism, from 6.5% in 2018-2019 to 17.3% in 2022-2023, which is higher than the nearby schools. Granton High's test scores are also generally lower than the state and district averages, particularly in mathematics and science.

Despite these challenges, Granton High has some strengths, such as a high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which suggests the school may be serving a population with socioeconomic challenges. Additionally, the school's performance in certain areas, such as its low dropout rates, indicates that there may be opportunities for improvement with the right strategies and support. Comparing Granton High to nearby schools like Greenwood High and Loyal High can provide valuable insights and help identify areas for growth.

As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
