Summary

Grant Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 278 students in the Eureka City Schools district, operating in a community with significant economic need where over two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch.

Academically, the school presents a mixed picture with a notable strength in mathematics, where its proficiency rate of 34% significantly outpaces the district average and is among the best in the district, nearly matching the state average in 3rd grade. However, its performance in English Language Arts lags slightly behind the district. The school has shown dramatic improvement in reducing chronic student absenteeism, cutting the rate by a third since the 2022-2023 school year, though it remains higher than at some neighboring schools like Washington Elementary. Performance varies considerably by grade, with strong 3rd-grade results that often fade in later grades.

When compared to schools in other nearby districts, such as Garfield Elementary or Freshwater Elementary, Grant's overall state ranking is lower, a pattern shared by all elementary schools within its own district, suggesting broader, district-level challenges. Despite this context, Grant spends more per student than several higher-performing nearby schools and has recently increased its investment, which may be contributing to its recent academic improvements and strong math outcomes relative to its peers.
