Summary

Grant Elementary is a public elementary school (PK-6) serving 289 students in the Spokane School District, and it faces significant academic challenges while serving a student population with high economic need.

The school's academic performance, with about 40% of students proficient in English and 32% in math, is below both district and state averages. This places it in the lower tier of schools statewide. For context, it performs similarly to other nearby schools with high economic need, like Frances Scott Elementary and Stevens Elementary, but significantly lower than schools like Wilson Elementary or Libby Center. Despite these results, Grant Elementary has the highest per-student spending among the nearby schools and maintains a lower student-teacher ratio, indicating a substantial investment of resources.

There are signs of recent improvement, as the school's statewide ranking has risen from a very low point a few years ago. Performance also varies greatly by grade, with third graders showing much stronger results than fourth and fifth graders. When compared specifically to schools with similar levels of student economic need, Grant Elementary appears moderately more effective, suggesting it is making progress in addressing the challenges it faces.

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
