Summary

Grant Middle School is a 254-student school serving grades 5–8 in Fairview Heights, Illinois, in Grant CCSD 110. In 2025–2026, 55% of students were proficient in English language arts (ELA), close to the state’s 56%, while 17% were proficient in math, compared with 40% statewide and 21% in the district. Math is the clearest concern: Grant’s result was 23 percentage points below the state and 4 points below its district.

ELA is a relative strength among nearby schools serving grades 5–8: Grant’s 55% was above their average of 47%, and ranked second among the four schools in that comparison. Its math result of 17% was below the same-span peers’ 29% average, ranking third of four; among the ten nearby schools with all-grades math results, only Mason/Clark Middle School was lower. Results also vary by grade: eighth-grade ELA reached 67%, 4 points above the state, while ELA in grades 5–7 was below state results. Eighth-grade math was 26%, still 9 points below the state.

Results have risen since 2023–2024: ELA increased from 37% to 55%, and math from 9% to 17%. ELA’s gap with the state narrowed by 3 points over that period, while math’s gap widened by 3 points despite the improvement. SchoolDigger places Grant at the 41st statewide percentile with 2 stars; the district is at the 20th percentile with 1 star. In 2024–2025, Grant’s student-teacher ratio was 9.7, the lowest among nearby schools with reported ratios, and 45% of students were free/reduced lunch eligible. SchoolDigger’s statewide effectiveness ranking for African American students was at the 73rd percentile, and for Low Socio Economic Status Students at the 68th percentile, both above Grant’s overall percentile.
