Grant Elementary

The area’s list contains one school, Grant Elementary, a K–8 school serving 600 students. In 2025–2026, its all-grades proficiency was above the state average in English language arts (ELA), math, and science: about 66% versus 49% in ELA, 56% versus 38% in math, and 59% versus 36% in science. The strongest state-relative result was in science, where Grant was 23 percentage points ahead; overall, the school’s proficiency exceeded the state in all three subjects.

Because Grant is the only school in this group, there is no local school-to-school top or bottom comparison. Results do vary notably by grade: ELA proficiency ranged from 82% in seventh grade to 49% in sixth, while math ranged from 75% in third grade to 34% in sixth. Sixth grade is the clearest concern relative to the state: its ELA result was just 1 point higher, and its math result was 3 points lower. By comparison, seventh-grade ELA was 31 points above the state and third-grade math was 28 points above. Eighth- and fifth-grade science results were nearly identical, at 60% and 59%.

Recent results were mixed: from 2024–2025 to 2025–2026, Grant’s ELA proficiency fell by 1 point and math by 3 points, while science rose by 5 points. The state improved in all three subjects, so Grant’s advantage narrowed in ELA, from 18 to 17 points, and math, from 22 to 18 points, but widened in science, from 22 to 23 points. SchoolDigger’s percentile ranking also declined, from 86 in 2023–2024 to 83 and then 80 in 2025–2026, though it remained above the midpoint. Attendance was a bright spot: chronic absenteeism was 6%, compared with 18% statewide. Other context includes a 19.3 student–teacher ratio and 38% free/reduced lunch eligible in 2024–2025; all students in California receive free school meals (Community Eligibility) statewide. These are observations about the school, not explanations for its results.
