Summary

Grant Middle School serves 445 students in grades 5 through 8 within the Grant Public School District, a rural district in West Michigan. The school has consistently ranked in the middle of the pack statewide, earning a 2-star rating (49th percentile) in the most recent school year, with about 63% of its students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch.

One of the most notable strengths at Grant Middle School is its effectiveness with students from low-income households. In the latest school year, the school ranked in the 65th percentile statewide for this group—a significant jump from the 46th percentile the year before—and earned a 3-star rating. This is especially meaningful because Grant serves a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students (62.9%) than several nearby districts like Coopersville Middle School (39.9%), Cedar Springs Middle School (38.2%), and Sparta Middle School (40.4%). The school also shows a clear split between subjects: 7th-grade English Language Arts proficiency (42.6%) actually exceeded the state average (38.4%), while math scores lagged well behind—for example, only 25.5% of 6th graders were proficient in math compared to 36.4% at Coopersville and 47.4% at Fremont Middle School.

Chronic absenteeism is a persistent challenge, with a rate of 29.2% in the most recent year—higher than the state average (27.9%) and nearly double the rates at Coopersville (15.1%) and Cedar Springs (19.0%). While this has improved from a peak of 53.5% a few years ago, it likely contributes to the math struggles, since math builds sequentially and requires consistent attendance. Notably, per-pupil spending at Grant ($14,792) is comparable to higher-performing neighbors, suggesting the gap isn't about money but rather about instructional approaches and attendance patterns. For parents, this means Grant is a school that shows genuine strength in supporting its most vulnerable students and in literacy, but has clear room for growth in math—an area where nearby rural districts are finding success.
