Summary:

Grant Elementary is a public elementary school in Los Angeles, California, serving 407 students in grades K-6. The school is part of the Los Angeles Unified School District, which is ranked 871 out of 1,568 districts in the state and has a 2-star rating from SchoolDigger.

While Grant Elementary has seen a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 12.4% in 2017-2018 to 43.2% in 2021-2022, the school's academic performance is mixed. In English Language Arts, proficiency rates are generally lower than the district and state averages, except for 5th grade, where the school outperforms. In Mathematics and Science, Grant Elementary's proficiency rates are also below the district and state averages. Interestingly, the school's male and Hispanic students perform better than their female and White counterparts, respectively, in state rankings. Additionally, the school's English Language Learner and low-socioeconomic status students perform relatively well, ranking in the top half of California elementary schools in these subgroups.

Grant Elementary serves a highly disadvantaged population, with an extremely high percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 95.17% to 96.37% over the past few years. This is significantly higher than the nearby schools, such as Lexington Avenue Primary Center, Cheremoya Avenue Elementary, and Hollywood Elementary. The school's fluctuating student-teacher ratio, which is generally higher than the nearby schools, may also be a factor in its academic performance, suggesting a need for appropriate staffing and resource allocation.

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.
