Summary:

Grant Elementary School is a public elementary school serving grades 2-4 in the Grant Public School District in Grant, Michigan. The school has 347 students, with a racial makeup that is predominantly White (78.67%), followed by Hispanic (18.16%) and smaller percentages of other racial groups.

Grant Elementary School has faced several challenges in recent years. The school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 11.0% in 2018-2019 to 31.9% in 2021-2022, which is notably higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Tri County Elementary School.

For example, in 2023-2024, only 28% of 3rd graders and 38.3% of 4th graders were proficient in ELA, compared to the state averages of 39.6% and 43.3%, respectively.

Additionally, Grant Elementary School has a high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds, with 72.33% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch in 2022-2023, significantly higher than the state average and the rates of nearby schools like Appleview Elementary School. The school also has a relatively high student-teacher ratio, ranging from 16.5 to 19.2 in recent years, which is higher than the ratios of many nearby schools. While Grant Elementary School's performance is generally lower than the state and district averages, some nearby schools, such as Tri County Elementary School and Appleview Elementary School, demonstrate stronger academic outcomes and lower chronic absenteeism rates, which could provide valuable insights for Grant Elementary School.

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.
