Summary:
The Grant Public School District in Grant, Michigan operates two elementary schools: Grant Elementary School and Grant Primary Center. While both schools serve a predominantly white student population, Grant Primary Center has a higher percentage of economically disadvantaged students and a concerning chronic absenteeism rate of 31.7%, compared to 17.9% at Grant Elementary School.
Academically, both schools struggle to meet state proficiency averages in 3rd and 4th grade English Language Arts and Math. Grant Elementary School's proficiency rates range from 28% to 38.3%, while Grant Primary Center's younger students have not been assessed. The district as a whole is ranked 256 out of 610 in Michigan, performing around the state average. However, the higher per-student spending of $17,949 at Grant Primary Center suggests the school may require additional resources to support its student population.
Despite the challenges, the schools maintain relatively low student-teacher ratios of 16.5 and 14.9, which could be an asset in addressing academic and attendance issues. Overall, the Grant Public School District and its elementary schools have room for improvement, particularly in ensuring equitable access and support for all students, regardless of their background or economic status.
