Summary

Grant Elementary School is a K–5 school in Willoughby, Ohio (Lake County), serving 518 students as one of five elementary schools in the Willoughby-Eastlake City district. It ranks 925th of 1,560 Ohio elementary schools (41st percentile, 2 stars) in 2025–26, placing it in the lower-middle tier statewide. About 53.28% of students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, and the student–teacher ratio has improved three years running, from 15.7 to 14.0.

Grant's results are highly uneven by grade. Third grade is a real strength: 72.1% of third graders were proficient in math — the highest of any Willoughby-Eastlake elementary — and third-grade reading also beat the state average. Grade 5 is the opposite story. Fifth-grade math (40.7%) and science (43.3%) have trailed the state by 15 to 23 points for four straight years, and both are the lowest among the district's five elementaries. Chronic absenteeism, though, has improved markedly, falling from 26.0% in 2022–23 to 17.1%, well below the district's 24.2%.

Compared with neighbors, Grant's resources are not the problem. Its 14.0:1 ratio is better than most nearby schools. The most useful comparison is Lake Elementary School in the Mentor Exempted Village district: a nearly identical free/reduced lunch rate (52.94% vs. 53.28%), similar staffing, and lower spending — yet 71st percentile with a 75.7% average proficiency rate. Meanwhile Kirtland Elementary School sits near the top of the state. Subgroup performance also varies widely, from 55th percentile for low-income students and 82nd percentile for gifted students (2024–25) to lower rankings elsewhere. Grant gives its youngest learners and its highest performers a strong start; the question is what happens after third grade.
