Summary

Grant K-8 is a consistently high-performing public elementary school serving 743 students from kindergarten through 8th grade in the San Diego Unified School District.

The school stands out for its strong and steady academic record, ranking in the 91st percentile of all California elementary schools for the 2024-2025 year and outperforming both district and state averages in every subject. It shows particular effectiveness in supporting diverse student groups, such as Hispanic students and those in special education, who achieve at very high percentiles statewide. Furthermore, the school has successfully reduced chronic absenteeism to 13.2%, a rate much better than the district average and lower than most nearby schools like Washington Elementary (38%) and Carson Elementary (27.8%).

Compared to other local options, Grant K-8 offers a compelling combination of academic excellence and efficient operations. It achieves its top-tier results with moderate per-student spending, unlike some higher-spending schools with lower performance. While Birney Elementary shows a slightly higher current ranking, Grant's decade-long consistency is notable. Its K-8 structure provides educational continuity, and it outperforms nearby charter schools such as Old Town Academy K-8 Charter, despite having larger class sizes.
