Summary

Grant Elementary is a smaller PK–6 school in Spokane’s East Central area, serving 289 students at 1300 E 9th Avenue. Part of Spokane School District, it has an 11.4:1 student-teacher ratio, the lowest reported among the nearby schools with available data. The school ranks in the 26th statewide percentile for 2025–26, or 846th out of 1,138 schools, but that represents steady progress from the 6th percentile in 2021–22.

Academic results remain below district and state averages in every tested subject. In 2025–26, proficiency was 37.38% in English language arts, 33.33% in math, and 31.58% in science. Science is the clearest schoolwide weakness, trailing the district by more than 16 percentage points. Math has shown the strongest improvement since 2022–23, while the latest year was mixed, with ELA declining slightly and math and science improving modestly. Fourth grade stands out as a strength: 54.05% were proficient in ELA and 45.95% in math. Fifth grade is the biggest concern, particularly math, where proficiency was 16.67%.

Compared with nearby schools, Grant Elementary outperformed Frances Scott Elementary and Stevens Elementary in ELA and math, but trailed most other local schools by sizable margins. Its 78.55% free- or reduced-price lunch rate indicates a relatively high-need student population, which is important context for comparisons. The school also reported the area’s highest per-student spending, at $25,868, and its most favorable staffing ratio. Overall, the data show meaningful momentum, with fifth-grade math, science, and maintaining fourth-grade success as the clearest priorities.

We love Grant for our daughter. Yes the school has a diverse population, with some kids coming from challenging situations. The teachers at this school are amazing and fully committed to giving each kid what they need socially and academically. We are proud to have our kids at Grant and wish that more parents in the neighborhood would support their local school because we have had an awesome experience. Close Quote

My daughter goes to Grant, and I have been so impressed with the responsiveness and dedication from the staff and faculty. In addition, it is refreshing to see an ethnically diverse school in Spokane. Not only are all races represented, they are welcomed and celebrated. My daughter went from wishing she was blonde like her friends in preschool, to commenting on her beautiful brown skin. Other friends of ours take their kids to the more "desirable" South Hill schools. Their girls have issues (in kindgergarten) with being teased and/or excluded for not having just the right clothes and toys. That hasn't been a problem for us at all. Also, my daughter has gone from being able to sound out a handful of words at the beginning of her kindergarten year, to reading at an advanced 2nd grade level just 6 months later. Her teacher continues to challenge her, making sure she is never bored. We couldn't be happier with Grant. Close Quote
