Summary

Grant Elementary School in Prichard, AL, is a K-5 school serving 285 students within the Mobile County school district, where 94.4% of students qualify for free or reduced lunch.

Grant Elementary is currently facing significant academic challenges. The school's state ranking has fallen dramatically from the 35th percentile in 2018-2019 to the 4th percentile in 2025-2026, and it currently holds a 0-star rating. In 3rd grade math, only 4.76% of students are proficient, compared to 35.39% across the district and 44.89% statewide. This is a stark contrast to WD Robbins Elementary School, located less than a mile away, which achieves 57.89% proficiency in the same subject despite serving a similar demographic. The student-teacher ratio has also increased from 15.4 to 23.1 over two years, which may impact individualized attention. However, there are some positive signs. The school shows relative strength in English Language Arts, with 5th grade English proficiency reaching 39.47% in 2025-2026. Chronic absenteeism has improved significantly, dropping from 35.1% in 2022-2023 to 16.1% in 2024-2025, though it remains above the district average of 12.8%.

Looking at the bigger picture, Grant Elementary's performance in 2023-2024 suggests the school is capable of better outcomes. That year, 3rd grade math proficiency reached 18.42% and the school earned a 1-star rating at the 18th percentile. The sharp decline since then warrants attention, particularly given the increased student-teacher ratio. Nearby schools like Florence Howard Elementary School (9.1% chronic absenteeism) and Forest Hill Elementary School (10.3%) show better attendance outcomes, while Old Shell Road Magnet School demonstrates near-universal proficiency, though it serves a different demographic and benefits from selective enrollment. The comparison with WD Robbins, which achieves significantly better results in similar circumstances, suggests that improvement is possible with targeted interventions and support.
