Granger ISD offers a comprehensive educational curriculum with a broad selection of academic courses and electives and provides the following special programs to support student achievement and excellence:
ESL – The goal of English as a Second Language shall be to provide support and services to students of limited English proficiency so that they can become competent in the comprehension, speaking, reading, and composition of the English language through the integrated use of second language methods. The English as a Second Language program shall emphasize the mastery of English language skills, as well as mathematics, science, and social studies as integral parts of the academic program for all students.

***NOMINATIONS***
Granger ISD would like to offer you the oppurtunity to assist us in locating children who are potential candidates for the gifted and talented program in grades K-12. These are children who are achieving beyond that which may be expected of their classmates in general intellectual ability, creative, and productive thinking. Please pick up a form to nominate a child for the screening process at the school and return to the GT Coordinator, Mrs. Reed, or to the campus principal of the nominated student.
Response to Intervention Program - The purpose of the Response to Intervention Program is to provide a multi-tier approach to the early identification and support of students with learning and behavior needs. Program services allow for parent involvement, early identification and intervention, and regular assessment of student progress.
Migrant - Our Migrant services provide needed instructional support to help migrant students overcome the challenges of mobility and to succeed in school.
Optional Extended Year - The intent of the Optional Extended Year Program is to reduce retention by providing interventions to students at risk of retention and to assure that they have the skills necessary for success in the next grade level.
