As you review the school rankings data, please be aware that some of the information from certain demographics is missing. The reason for this omission is that the data has been redacted from the source data itself due to low population samples in these specific demographic groups.

Redacting data from low population samples is a necessary step to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the results, as small sample sizes may not be representative of the broader population. Additionally, this measure helps protect the privacy of individuals belonging to these demographic groups.

Open Quote This school is wonderful! I pulled my daughter from a Puyallup School District School to go here and it was the best decision I've ever made when it comes to her education! The teachers love what they are doing and the fact that it's an Expressive Art school that is free makes it that much more appealing. The teachers spend so much extra time with offering Enrichment Classes, plays and the traveling dance team. My daughter is in 5th grade this year and we are really sad to leave Grant next year. Even though it doesn't have a great rating and it isn't in a good School District, it is by far way better than the high ranked school she attended in Puyallup. The school is so diverse, the parents are very involved, and there isn't any stereotyping going on. Take your child here and you will be very pleased! Close Quote

Open Quote School based on teaching through the Expressive Arts. Wonderful specialists in music, dance, drama, and the visual arts. All classroom teachers trained to teach content through the arts as well! Amazing school with warm, caring atmosphere and lots of enrichment opportunities including performances where kids can shine!

About Students eligible for discounted/free lunch:

The National School Lunch Program (NSLP) provides low-cost or free meals to students in U.S. public and nonprofit private schools based on household income. Those with incomes below 130% of the poverty line receive free lunch, while those between 130% and 185% qualify for reduced-price lunch. The percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch serves as a marker for poverty, as it reflects the socioeconomic status of families in a given school or district. A higher FRPL rate typically indicates a higher concentration of low-income families, suggesting that the school or district may face additional challenges in providing adequate resources and support for student success.

About Student-Teacher Ratio

Student/teacher ratio is calculated by dividing the total number of students by the total number of full-time equivalent teachers. Please note that a smaller student/teacher ratio does not necessarily translate to smaller class size. In some instances, schools hire teachers part time, and some teachers are hired for specialized instruction with very small class sizes. These and other factors contribute to the student/teacher ratio. Note: For private schools, Student/teacher ratio may not include Pre-Kindergarten.
