Grant Public School District

The Grant Public School District in Michigan operates 5 schools, including 2 elementary schools, 1 middle school, 2 high schools, and no alternative schools. The district serves a diverse student population, with a significant Hispanic/Latino representation across the schools.

Grant High School stands out as the top performer in the district, ranking 159 out of 743 Michigan high schools and earning a 4-star rating from SchoolDigger. The school outperforms the district and state averages in several test score metrics, including 11th-grade proficiency in Science, Social Studies, and Evidence-Based Reading and Writing. In contrast, Grant Learning Center, an alternative high school, struggles significantly, ranking 644 out of 805 Michigan high schools and having a very high chronic absenteeism rate of 85.1% and a low 4-year graduation rate of 44.4%.

The data reveals stark performance differences across the district, with Grant High School being a relatively strong performer and Grant Learning Center facing significant challenges. The high rates of free/reduced lunch eligibility across the district suggest that many students come from economically disadvantaged backgrounds, which may contribute to the performance disparities observed. Additionally, the wide range in spending per student and student-teacher ratios across the schools indicates potential inequities in resource allocation within the district, an area that may warrant further investigation.
