The school's proficiency rates in English Language Arts (65%), Mathematics (62%), and Science (46%) for the 2023-2024 school year are significantly higher than the state averages (39%, 25%, and 36%, respectively). Grady Elementary's performance is particularly strong in certain student subgroups, such as Hispanic students (ranked 19th out of 390 schools in 2023-2024) and low socioeconomic status students (ranked 4th out of 410 schools in 2021-2022).

In comparison, the nearest comparable school, San Jon Elementary, which is located approximately 20 miles away and is part of a different school district, has a lower statewide ranking and lower proficiency rates in English Language Arts, Mathematics, and Science compared to Grady Elementary. San Jon Elementary also has a higher percentage of students eligible for free or reduced-price lunch (100%) compared to Grady Elementary (45.24% to 100%), indicating a potentially higher concentration of economically disadvantaged students. The consistent high performance and effective support for economically disadvantaged students at Grady Elementary suggest that the school's strategies and practices could serve as a model for other schools in the state.

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.
