of 5,857 California Elementary Schools

Better than 90% of California elementary schools

Summary

Grattan Elementary is a high-performing K-5 public school serving 392 students in the San Francisco Unified district, consistently ranking in the top 10-15% of all California elementary schools.

Academically, Grattan's students perform well above district and state averages, with over 70% proficient in English, Math, and Science, and they show strong growth from 3rd to 5th grade. The school benefits from high per-student spending and has a relatively low chronic absenteeism rate of 10.4%, which is much better than the district average. However, when compared to some nearby schools, Grattan's academic results, while excellent, are not the highest in the area. For instance, Chinese Immersion School at DeAvila and Yu (Alice Fong) Elementary achieve higher scores in certain subjects, and New Traditions Elementary outperforms in English Language Arts.

Grattan serves a community with fewer economic challenges than many neighboring schools, which is reflected in its very low rate of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. This school is a stable, well-resourced choice that delivers strong and consistent academic outcomes. Parents may also note that specialized programs like language immersion at nearby schools achieve exceptional results with different student populations, offering alternative educational models in the area.
