Summary
Grant Elementary School is a PK–5 school in the Lakewood City district in Lakewood, OH, serving 323 students, and it is currently one of the highest-ranked elementary schools in Ohio.
For 2025–2026, Grant ranked 126 of 1,560 elementary schools — 92nd percentile, 5 stars — placing it in roughly the top 8% statewide. That is a big climb from 2015–2016, when it ranked 623 of 1,678 (63rd percentile, 3 stars), although it has cooled slightly from a peak of 70 of 1,577 (96th percentile, 5 stars) in 2023–2024. Among nearby Lakewood elementaries, Grant has the highest state rank percentile and the only 5-star rating in this group, leading Lincoln Elementary School, Hayes Elementary School, Roosevelt Elementary School, Emerson Elementary School, Horace Mann Elementary School, and Harrison Elementary School in 5th-grade science, 4th- and 5th-grade math, and 4th-grade ELA. The contrast with nearby non-Lakewood schools is sharper still: Orchard Park Academy (17th percentile), Global Ambassadors Language Academy (28th), and Riverside School (27th) all have chronic absenteeism of 32.7% to 38.0%, versus Grant's 7.0%.
Grant's academic profile is strong across most tested areas: 92.1% proficiency in 5th-grade science, 94.0% in 4th-grade math, 94.2% in 5th-grade math, 89.3% in 4th-grade ELA, and 88.9% in 5th-grade ELA. The clearest soft spot is 3rd-grade math at 67.6%, below the district's 73.1% (though above the state's 62.1%), where Hayes and Lincoln outperform Grant. Attendance is a real advantage at 7.0% chronic absenteeism against the district's 21.8%, and with 27.24% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch, Grant's results aren't explained simply by serving a low-poverty population. One caveat: the school is listed as PK–5 but reports 6th-grade math scores, which should be treated cautiously.
