Summary

Grant Community School is an elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 454 students from kindergarten to 5th grade. It is part of the Salem-Keizer School District 24J, which is ranked 110 out of 140 districts in Oregon and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grant Community School faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower-than-average test scores in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science, and uneven performance across different student subgroups. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 24.3% of 3rd graders were proficient or better in ELA, compared to 25.3% for the district and 40.3% for the state. The school also spends more per student ($22,287 in 2022-2023) compared to the district average, but this does not seem to translate into better academic outcomes.

When comparing Grant Community School to nearby schools in the same district, it becomes clear that the school is one of the lower-performing schools in the area. Schools like McKinley Elementary and Chapman Hill Elementary have significantly higher test scores and better overall performance. Addressing the root causes of Grant Community School's challenges, such as student engagement, teacher effectiveness, and resource allocation, will be crucial in order to improve student outcomes and provide a high-quality education for all learners.
