Grant Elementary School

I have found the principal and teachers very easy to communicate with. They are high quality individuals and want the best for their students. My child transferred there from another local school and I have never regretted the decision. They have now established a music program which my child loves.

I had ups and dows with the quality of this school. However 'funds' I will say are killing more our public schools. The number of students in class have being increasing throughout the years, teachers seemed more busy then past years, quality therefore will be affected. There is not music programs and PE is just a matter of one hour per week. There is not interest in any kind of sport.

My kids have been attending this school for 3 years. In this time we have come to know most of the teachers. The teachers are very dedicated and concerned with each of their students. Children who struggle are provided with additional help and attention. Children who excel are given additional work to keep them challenged. Kindergarteners are given weekly homework packets. Grades 1-5 are generally given daily homework. Homework is taken very seriously and the kids are held accountable for completing it and turning it in. The kids have library, chorus, computer, and PE on a weekly basis. There is no instrumental music program due to district cuts. Generally, all classrooms have at least 1 parent volunteer. Some classrooms have daily parent volunteers. The PTA at this school is active and sponsors reading nights, a reading rewards program, gives classrooms money, and has many social events.

This school is tops in my book. I have only had possitive experiences here and I my kids have been going here for 6 years. I wish they didn't have to leave after 5th grade. The teachers that we had were the best! We will miss them especially Mrs. Clark and Mrs. Owens. Every school should have two teacher like them.

My son was very apprehensive about leaving Bidwell when we moved to our new home. Thanks to the wonderful teachers (Mrs. Kelley & Mrs. DiGiovanni) at Grant, he's transitioned well. He's reading at an 8th grade level, loves Science & History! They have even gone so far as to stay 30 min after school 2 days a week to tutor! Clean campus, great staff!

Fantastic school. Very organized PTA. Good Parent involvement. Some teachers are average and a little stuck in their ways, but most are fantastic. I can't say enough abough Mrs. Gibson and Mrs. Tinker. The librarian ia amazing as well.
