Summary

Grant Elementary is a public elementary school in Sheboygan, Wisconsin, serving 346 students in grades PK-5. The school is part of the Sheboygan Area School District, which is ranked 341 out of 426 districts in the state and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grant Elementary faces several challenges, including consistently high chronic absenteeism rates, lower student performance on standardized tests compared to district and state averages, and a very high percentage of students from low-socioeconomic backgrounds. For example, in 2024-2025, only 39.39% of 5th-grade students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, and 28.79% were proficient or better in Mathematics, significantly below the district and state averages. Additionally, the school's performance varies widely across different student subgroups, with English Language Learners performing much better than Special Education students.

When compared to nearby schools like Wilson Elementary and Pigeon River Elementary, Grant Elementary generally performs worse on key metrics such as student achievement and chronic absenteeism. The school's statewide ranking has also steadily declined over the past several years, suggesting the need for more effective interventions to improve student outcomes. Despite the school's challenges, it has a high per-student spending of $14,298, which may indicate the need to re-evaluate the effectiveness of its resource allocation.
