Summary

Grant Elementary School serves 432 students in kindergarten through fifth grade in Dumont, New Jersey. Its 2025–2026 results were above state averages in every tested grade and subject, but performance is uneven across grades. The key concern for families is third-grade ELA: Grant scored 57%, below the district’s 65% and the nearby-school average of 70%.

Grant’s strongest state-relative results were in fifth-grade science, at 52% compared with 27% statewide and 37% in the Dumont Public School District. Its grade 3–5 math average was 67%, versus 47% statewide and 62% districtwide. Grant exceeded the district in five of seven grade-subject results; third-grade ELA and fifth-grade science were the exceptions. Results are less dominant against nearby schools: Grant’s third-grade ELA score was higher than only one of the ten nearby schools with a reported result, while its fifth-grade science score was above the nearby comparison average.

Over four years, average ELA proficiency fell from 70% in 2022–2023 to 62% in 2025–2026, while math dipped from 69% to 67%; fifth-grade science rose from 46% to 52%. SchoolDigger gives Grant 4 stars and a 78th-percentile statewide ranking, the highest among the three Dumont schools but sixth among 11 nearby ranked schools. Its 2024–2025 student-teacher ratio was 13, higher than ratios at seven of the ten other nearby schools with reported figures. The school’s free/reduced lunch eligible rate was 17% in 2024–2025, around the middle of nearby schools with the same measure and year. Chronic absenteeism improved to 9% in 2024–2025, below the district’s 12% and the state’s 14%. SchoolDigger’s group-specific ranking was notably high for Hispanic students, at the 93rd percentile compared with 78th overall; its ranking for Low Socio Economic Status Students fell from the 96th percentile in 2022–2023 to the 71st in 2025–2026.
