Grattan Elementary

Summary:

Grattan Elementary is a high-performing public elementary school in San Francisco, California, serving 376 students in grades K-5. The school consistently outperforms the San Francisco Unified School District and the state of California in academic achievement, with particularly strong results for certain student subgroups.

Grattan Elementary's academic performance is exceptional, with 72.53% of students proficient or better in English Language Arts/Literacy and 70.33% in Mathematics, compared to the district averages of 53.73% and 45.59%, respectively. The school's success extends to specific student populations, ranking 482 out of 5,636 California elementary schools for male students and 290 out of 2,647 for white students. Additionally, Grattan has relatively low chronic absenteeism rates and a lower percentage of students receiving free or reduced-price lunch, which can be an indicator of socioeconomic status.

Grattan Elementary's performance stands out compared to many nearby schools in the San Francisco Unified School District.

Grattan's consistent high performance, with a 4- or 5-star rating from SchoolDigger, and its favorable student-teacher ratio of 19.7 contribute to its exemplary status within the San Francisco area.

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.

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.
