The school also has significantly higher proficiency rates in FAST English Language Arts and Math for 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade students compared to district and state averages. However, Grady Elementary has experienced relatively high chronic absenteeism rates in recent years, ranging from 9.3% to 31.4%, which is notably higher than the district and state averages.

Fantastic, family friendly school. First in Area 1 FCAT scores (the information on this site about 2014 FCAT scores is incorrect), Third in overall FCAT scores for the entire Hillsborough County School District. First in the District on SAT-10 scores for reading and math in the first grade. PTA Principal of the Year for Hillsborough County and many more awards that I can't even remember right now. Very caring teachers and administration. Close Quote
