Summary:
The city of Grant, Michigan is home to 5 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, and 2 high schools (one of which is an alternative school). The schools in this Grant Public School District show a wide range of performance, with Grant High School standing out as a top performer in the state, while the middle and elementary schools struggle to meet state averages on many metrics.
Grant High School is the highest-ranked school in the district, placing 159 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages on several test score metrics, including SAT/Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. In contrast, Grant Learning Center, the alternative high school, has been consistently among the lowest-performing schools in the state, with a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.
The district as a whole faces challenges, including high rates of poverty, with 60-80% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, and chronic absenteeism, which is significantly above the state average at 29.5%. Funding disparities may also be a factor, as the schools range from $10,273 per student at Grant Learning Center to $16,508 per student at Grant Primary Center. Addressing these challenges will be crucial for improving outcomes across the district.
