Summary

Grant Elementary is a K–5 school in San Lorenzo, serving 322 students in the San Lorenzo Unified area. Its results compare favorably with many nearby schools in English Language Arts/Literacy (ELA), but proficiency remains below the state average in ELA, math, and science. The clearest grade-level concern is fourth grade, especially math: 19% of students were proficient, compared with 42% in third grade.

ELA is Grant’s strongest subject compared with nearby schools: 38% were proficient, versus a nearby-school average of 29, placing Grant third among the 11 schools. Math was about level with the local average—31% at Grant and 31% nearby—while science was slightly lower, at 21% versus 22%; Grant ranked fourth in math and sixth in science. Compared with the district, Grant was higher by 9 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 1 in science. But it remained below California by 11 points in ELA, 8 in math, and 15 in science. The fourth-grade gap is particularly notable: Grant’s math proficiency was 19%, below the district’s 28%.

Results have moved in different directions over time: from 2022–2023 to 2025–2026, ELA fell 4 points (42% to 38%), math fell 1 point (32% to 31%), and science rose 8 points (13% to 21%). SchoolDigger places Grant in the 37th percentile statewide with 2 stars; that is fourth-highest among Grant and the 10 nearby schools, though the percentile has dropped from 46. In 2024–2025, the student-teacher ratio was 20.6, and 69% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. One subgroup result merits attention: SchoolDigger’s ranking for how well Grant serves Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 50th percentile in 2023–2024 to the 14th in 2025–2026, compared with an overall school percentile of 37.
