Granville High School

While the Granville Central School District boasts high numbers for English Language Arts, Earth Science, Living Environment and U.S. History, in other subjects the 2018-2019 Regents Exam results were far less rosy.

Principal Lisa Meade introduced the data at a Board of Education meeting on Monday.

Over the past three years, the district has seen scores for physics drop from a 100% passing rate in 2016-2017 to 87% in 2017-2018 and plummet to 62% in 2018-2019, leaving Granville with the second-worst physics score in Washington County.

The declining grades do not end there.

Algebra 2 scores dropped from a 100% passing rate in 2017-2018 to a 64% passing rate in 2018-2019, the lowest rate in the county.

Chemistry exam scores were also the lowest in the county, with a 38% passing rate, up only three points from 2017-2018’s 35% rate.
