Summary

Grant Elementary is a public elementary school in Kenoska, Wisconsin, serving 184 students from pre-kindergarten to 5th grade. The school is part of the Kenosha School District, which is ranked 342 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grant Elementary consistently ranks in the bottom 20% of Wisconsin elementary schools, with academic performance significantly below the district and state averages across all grade levels and subject areas. For example, in the 2024-2025 school year, only 7.89% of 3rd-grade students at Grant Elementary were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to 41.92% in the Kenosha School District and 52.14% statewide. The school also has high chronic absenteeism rates and a high percentage of students (74.46% to 78.95%) who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch, indicating a high level of economic disadvantage among the student population.

While the nearby Frank Elementary, McKinley Elementary, and Bose Elementary schools also perform poorly compared to state averages, some schools like Harvey Elementary and Dimensions of Learning Academy perform significantly better, suggesting that there is variability in the quality of education within the same district.
