Summary

Grant K-8 is a public school in San Diego, California, serving 743 students in kindergarten through grade 8. Its results stand out locally and compared with state and district results. Most important, students score well above state and district proficiency rates in ELA, math, and science, though grade 8 math is a clear area of relative weakness.

Grant K-8 is especially strong compared with state and district results: proficiency is 69% in ELA, 65% in math, and 61% in science. Those results are about 20, 27, and 25 percentage points above the state, respectively, and 15, 19, and 19 points above San Diego Unified. Among nearby schools, Grant is nearly tied with Birney Elementary in ELA and just behind Longfellow Utk-8 in math; Birney leads in science. Within Grant, grade 8 math is the biggest concern: 47% proficiency is still above state and district results, but trails Longfellow’s grade 8 result of 63% by 16 points.

Grant’s results have been broadly steady over four years, while state results improved, narrowing Grant’s advantage. From 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, Grant’s ELA stayed near 69%, math eased from 66% to 65%, and science from 61% to 61%; state results rose in all three subjects. SchoolDigger ranks Grant in the 90th statewide percentile and gives it five stars for 2025–2026, the highest nearby ranking in the comparison; Birney Elementary is next at the 89th percentile. For context, the student-teacher ratio was 21.5 in 2024–2025, around the middle of nearby schools, and 30% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible that year, the third-lowest share among 11 schools with the same measure. Chronic absenteeism also improved, falling from 35% in 2021–2022 to 14% in 2025–2026, below district and state rates of 17% and 18%.
