Summary

Grant Community School is a K–5 elementary school in Salem, Oregon, serving 444 students in the Salem-Keizer School District 24J. It is a high-poverty school, with about 89% of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch in 2024–2025. Statewide, Grant Community School ranks 503rd of 709 elementary schools — the 29th percentile, with a 1-star rating — while its district ranks 105th of 141, at the 26th percentile. Grant reached the 46th–48th percentile in 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 but has slipped to 29th percentile and lost its 2-star rating, even though its long-term trend since 2014–2015 is upward.

Among the 10 same-district elementary schools nearby, Grant has the 4th-highest rank. It trails Chapman Hill Elementary School, Englewood Elementary School, and McKinley Elementary School, and is ahead of Richmond Elementary School, Hoover Elementary School, Washington Elementary School, Harritt Elementary School, Highland Elementary School, and Bush Elementary School. Its test scores are above district averages in English language arts (35.0%) and math (28.4%) and above the nearby median in all three subjects, but below state averages everywhere — most sharply in science, where 19.2% of students met the standard versus 30.6% statewide. Fifth grade is a bright spot: 46.6% in ELA and 32.4% in math, essentially matching the state. Fourth-grade ELA (26.1%) and third-grade math (25.6%) are the weakest spots. About a mile away, Eagle Charter School ranks in the 90th percentile with 5 stars, though it serves far fewer students and a different population.

Attendance is Grant's clearest strength: chronic absenteeism fell from 44.0% in 2021–2022 to 32.4% in 2024–2025, below both district (43.1%) and state (33.5%) levels and the 3rd lowest among nearby same-district schools. Results for student groups are mixed — some groups, including Hispanic students, rank well above the school's overall level, while students from low-income families, male students, and students in special education rank below it. Grant also does relatively more with less: per-student spending is $21,759, below the nearby median, and its student-teacher ratio of 19.1 is above the nearby median of 18.0.
