Gratton Elementary

This area has two K–8 schools: Gratton Charter, with 111 students, and Gratton Elementary, with 24. Both report all-grades ELA and math results for 2025–26. Their equally weighted school averages—not student-weighted area rates—were 57% in ELA and 61% in math, compared with state results of 49% and 38%. The most important takeaway is that the averages exceeded the state in both subjects, while individual schools’ results differed notably, especially in ELA.

Gratton Charter stands out on the reported all-grades results: it had 70% proficiency in ELA and 66% in math, leading Gratton Elementary by 26 percentage points in ELA and 11 points in math. Charter was also above the state in both subjects, by 21 points in ELA and 28 in math. Gratton Elementary’s stronger subject relative to the state was math: its 56% result was 17 points above the state, while its 44% ELA result was 5 points below. Charter reported 52% in science, 16 points above the state; the other school’s science result is suppressed, so it cannot be compared.

All-grades ELA and math results rose at both schools from 2024–25 to 2025–26: Gratton Charter gained 8 points in ELA and 5 in math, while Gratton Elementary gained 3 and 6 points. Charter’s science result, however, fell 6 points, though it remained above the state. SchoolDigger lists Charter’s percentile at 81st in 2023–24 and 77th in 2025–26, a 4-point decline despite its recent score gains. As context, 2024–25 student–teacher ratios were 17.8 at Charter and 5.7 at the smaller school; their 2024–25 free/reduced lunch eligible measures were 13% and 29%. These are contextual differences, not explanations of results. Enrollment at Gratton Elementary is small, and some of its results, including science, are suppressed.
