Summary

Grant Elementary School serves 363 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Melrose Park, in an area with several nearby elementary and intermediate schools. Its clearest academic concern is third-grade English Language Arts (ELA): 19% of students were proficient in 2025–26, 29 percentage points below the state and 10 below Bellwood School District 88. This makes third-grade ELA the school’s most pronounced academic weakness.

Grant’s strongest result compared with nearby schools was fifth-grade science: 42% were proficient, 15 points above the district and 5 below the state. Among six nearby schools with reported results, Grant ranked second, and its score was 12 points above their average. Math is a relative strength against the district, but not the state or nearby group: all-grade proficiency was 25%, 8 points above the district’s 17% and 14 below the state’s 40%; it was also 2 points below the nearby-school average. All-grade ELA was 33%, 4 points below the district and 24 below the state.

Both subjects have improved since 2023–24: ELA rose 16 percentage points to 33%, and math rose 10 points to 25%. The state gap in ELA narrowed by 1 point overall, though it widened by 1 point in the latest year. Math’s state gap widened from 13 points in 2023–24 to 14 in 2025–26, after reaching 17 points in 2024–25. SchoolDigger placed Grant at the 15th statewide percentile with 1 star in 2025–26, below its recent high of the 25th percentile in 2023–24; the district stood at the 5th percentile with 0 stars. In SchoolDigger’s 2024–25 rankings, English Language Learners were at the 42nd percentile for how well the school serves that group, compared with 21st overall. Its 2023–24 Special Education Students ranking was lower: the 10th percentile, compared with 25th overall. Grant’s student-teacher ratio was 12.5 in 2024–25, close to the nearby average of 12.3. In 2024–25, all students received free meals through Community Eligibility (CEP).
