Grant Middle School

Summary:

Grant Middle School is a public middle school located in Fairview Heights, Illinois, serving grades 5-8 with a total enrollment of 235 students. The school is part of the Grant CCSD 110 district, which is ranked 659 out of 813 districts in Illinois and has a 1-star rating from SchoolDigger.

Grant Middle School faces several academic challenges, with proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science consistently lower than the state averages across all grade levels. For example, in 2023-2024, the school's English Language Arts proficiency rate was 36.9% compared to the state's 41.2%, and its Mathematics proficiency rate was 9.1% compared to the state's 28.4%. The school's performance has been relatively stagnant over the past few years, with its statewide ranking declining from 509 out of 1,293 Illinois middle schools in 2017-2018 to 811 out of 1,363 in 2023-2024. Additionally, Grant Middle School has experienced a significant increase in chronic absenteeism, rising from 7.4% in 2019-2020 to 45.3% in 2021-2022, which is well above the state average.

Interestingly, Grant Middle School's academic performance lags behind many of the nearby middle schools, such as Fulton Junior High School and Wolf Branch Middle School, which have significantly higher proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science. Even Mason/Clark Middle School, which serves a predominantly low-socioeconomic status student population, outperforms Grant Middle School in academic achievement. However, Grant Middle School's performance for specific student subgroups, such as African American and special education students, is relatively stronger compared to the overall school performance, suggesting that the school may be providing targeted support for these groups.

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.
