Summary

Christine Grant Elementary is a public elementary school located in North Liberty, Iowa, serving grades PK-6 with a total enrollment of 521 students. The school is part of the Iowa City Community School District, which is ranked 241 out of 313 districts in Iowa and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Christine Grant Elementary consistently outperforms the Iowa City Community School District and the state of Iowa in standardized test scores across all grade levels and subjects. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, 85.2% of 3rd-grade students at Christine Grant Elementary were proficient or better in Mathematics, compared to 71.4% for the district and 75.8% for the state. The school's performance has been strong, with a statewide ranking between 89 and 239 out of 567-576 Iowa elementary schools over the past 5 years, earning 3-4 out of 5 SchoolDigger stars. However, the school has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism rates, rising from 9.3% in 2021-2022 to 27.9% in 2022-2023, which is notably higher than the state's average.

Compared to nearby schools, Christine Grant Elementary has a relatively low percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, ranging from 15.51% to 16.51% over the past 3 years. This is significantly lower than some of the nearby schools, such as Kirkwood Elementary (74.91%) and Buford Garner Elementary (37.64%), which have much higher rates of economically disadvantaged students. While Christine Grant Elementary outperforms most of the nearby schools in academic achievement, the school's rising chronic absenteeism rate is an area of concern that the school and district should address.
