Summary

Grant Elementary School is a public elementary school located in Muscatine, Iowa, serving 301 students from kindergarten to 6th grade. The school is part of the Muscatine Community School District, which is ranked 264 out of 313 school districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grant Elementary School stands out among its peers in the Muscatine district due to its strong academic performance, particularly in ISASP test scores. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, Grant Elementary School's 3rd-grade students scored 78.8% proficient or better in ISASP Mathematics, compared to 69.9% for the Muscatine district and 75.8% for the state of Iowa. Similarly, Grant Elementary School's 6th-grade students scored 79.5% proficient or better in ISASP English Language Arts, compared to 71.7% for the district and 72.8% for the state. However, the school faces the challenge of rising chronic absenteeism, which has increased from 10.4% in the 2021-2022 school year to 23.4% in the 2022-2023 school year.

The higher percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch at Grant Elementary School, ranging from 38.65% to 49.5% over the past few years, suggests that the school serves a population with greater economic challenges compared to the state average. This socioeconomic factor may contribute to the school's performance and the challenges it faces, such as the increase in chronic absenteeism, which is a concern shared by other schools in the region, including West Liberty Elementary School.
