Summary

Grant Elementary School serves 350 students in grades K-5 in the Colorado Springs School District No. 11, where about two-thirds of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. The school currently ranks in the 36th percentile statewide with a 2-star rating, a meaningful recovery from its 24th-percentile standing in 2022-23, though it remains below its pre-pandemic position near the 50th percentile.

Academically, Grant shows a clear split. Reading and language arts is a relative strength, with 40.1% proficiency that beats the district average and comes close to the state average. Math trails at 30.2%, below both district and state levels. The biggest red flag is science: just 9.4% of 5th graders were proficient, a staggering gap compared with the district's 27% and the state's 36.1%. Even Carver Elementary, which ranks in the 13th percentile overall, posted higher science scores. That said, Grant is outperforming its immediate neighbors: Fremont Elementary and Keller Elementary, both less than a mile away, have notably lower reading and math proficiency. Schools a couple of miles farther out, such as King Elementary and Martinez Elementary, post stronger math and science results.

About 4 in 10 Grant students were chronically absent in 2024-25, which is high but actually below the district average of 45.8%. The school's 14.3:1 student-teacher ratio is typical for the area. Grant's effectiveness with students from low-income families has slipped recently, and the sharp drop in 5th-grade math—from 37.5% proficiency in 4th grade to 22.6%—deserves attention. If the school can bring its math and science performance closer to its reading results, it has a realistic path back toward the 50th percentile.
