Granted vs supposed
"Granted that you supposed to finish the school at some point, but you are not even trying anymore." Is the above sentence structure correct?

It isn't right, and I don't exactly understand what you are trying to say. "Granted (that) X, but Y" requires a contrast such that X partly mitigates Y, but not fully, as in "Granted you're trying, but the results aren't good enough". I can't work out what you mean by "you supposed to finish the school at some point" that would provide the necessary connection with the second part of the sentence.
