Summary

Grant Elementary is a large public elementary school serving 951 students in grades K-5 within the Long Beach Unified School District, but it faces significant academic and attendance challenges compared to many nearby schools.

Academically, the school's test scores in English, math, and science are consistently below both district and state averages, and it has the lowest math proficiency among all comparable schools. A major area of concern is chronic absenteeism, with over 36% of students missing significant school, a rate much higher than the state average and among the highest in the local area, including nearby schools like King Elementary. Interestingly, despite having the highest per-student spending among its Long Beach Unified peers, Grant also has the largest class sizes, suggesting resources may not be reaching the classroom effectively.

The school's performance has declined in recent years, with particularly sharp drops for certain student groups. While other schools with similar student populations, such as those in Compton Unified like Kelly Elementary, achieve much lower absenteeism and better academic results, Grant's large size and ongoing struggles highlight a need for targeted interventions to improve attendance and ensure resources directly support student learning.
