Summary

Grant Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 322 students in the San Lorenzo Unified School District, and it has shown impressive academic improvement in recent years, moving from the 18th to the 40th percentile statewide since 2019.

The school has clear strengths, particularly in mathematics where it significantly outperforms the district average, and it is exceptionally effective in supporting English Language Learners, ranking in the 86th percentile statewide for that group. While Grant's academic results are stronger than many of its district peers like Hillside Elementary and Colonial Acres Elementary, it still trails behind the state average. An interesting point of comparison is with Madison Elementary in the neighboring San Leandro Unified district, which achieves higher proficiency with a similar student population.

Grant spends more per student than several nearby schools, which coincides with its solid performance within its district. The school is actively recovering from higher post-pandemic absenteeism, and while it shows some inconsistent performance in science and among female students, its overall trajectory is positive. For families in the area, Grant represents a mid-to-upper performing choice within San Lorenzo Unified, with notable expertise in math and language learner support.
