Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
Another Mission Hills family leaving Grant!! Discussded with teachers and Principal. So sad so many local families choose to send kids elsewhere.
—Submitted by a parent
Grant is a good school, yes, but it's not great. First, their current math program for the lower school is outdated and confusing. And can I say something about the school's favorite kindergarten teacher, Mr. Martacchio? He is the coldest, most arrogant, close minded kindergarten teacher I have ever met. His system works well for most (he has them disciplined like little soldiers) but any child who does not fall perfectly within his system gets left behind and labeled as a trouble maker. What's worse, he isolates the "trouble makers" and creates a cycle of misbehavior. What century are we living in?

We have been so disappointed at Grant. Leadership is very low, they have gone through 3 principals in 4 years and not one has any leadership skills. Principal will not address any issues on campus, completely hands off. You would think it would be or should be zero tolerance, for bullying, illegal items, etc. but there again principal is hands off. More that one year we have had some real behavior issues in class from students. Barely dealt with and right back in the class to disrupt again. Such a shame when you have students that really want to learn!! Parent involvement is pretty good in the lower grades and then it drops off.

My daughter goes to this school and I have been very happy this far, especially with the new principal. She has had wonderful teachers every year and she thrives. The most beautiful part is the park next to the schools, where the children play and socialize afterwards. It is such an enrichment to their lives.

I went camping with this school and oh dear the kids were polite than other schools. They didnt cuss and do bad things. But, there was some girls that were rude to others and wasnt being really nice.
Because my grandson is happy and getting an excellent education.

The parent support at this school is wonderful and makes my job as a teacher, easier. Th PTA is constantly trying to advance the quality of the school and the new administration is refreshing. Staff is good, just a few "less" motivated!

I love Grant Elementary because the teacher's and administrators supported my son with his struggle in reading.
—Submitted by a parent
This will be my daughter's third year at Grant and we love it. The curriculum is challenging and the student body/staff are wonderful.
—Submitted by a parent
This is simply a GREAT school.My son attends special- ed claa and his teacher Mr.Pearson is marvelous and so are his assistants.My son loves going to school and that says it all!
—Submitted by a parent
So far we have been happy with this school. I agree with one of the prior comments about the principal. He does not show much leadership and seems to let the teachers and alpha parents call most of the shots. Still, the students do well. It will be interesting to see how the loss of magnet status affects the school and student performance.
—Submitted by a parent
I am a teacher at Grant and I think this is the best K-8 school in the district! I love my job, the kids, parents and the staff. I just hope the budget cuts don't destroy this school that performs so well.
—Submitted by a teacher
Great kids, parents, PTA, teachers, and staff all work together to make the school both fun and educational. To bad nothing nice can be said about the principal.
—Submitted by a parent
Love this school! The staff, the counselors, the teachers and the parents all come together to create a wonderful place of learning. The administration and staff are top notch.
—Submitted by a parent
This is a wonderful school, and I am proud for my child to attend there. They offer a school garden, labs, enhancement activities, and a welcoming community of parents, teachers, and administration working together for our children. My child has been challenged to excel, and with positive results.
—Submitted by a parent
My daughter is in 2nd Grade and having a phenomenal time at Grant. The PTA is the greatest and accomodating to those of us that can't put as much time as we desire.
—Submitted by a parent

The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
The different student groups are identified by the California Department of Education; if there are fewer than 10 students in a particular group in a school, the state doesn't report data for that group.

In 2011-2012 California used the California Standards Tests (CSTs) to test students in English language arts in grades 2 through 11; math in grades 2 through 7; science in grades 5, 8 and 10; and history-social science in grades 8 and 11. Middle and high school students also took subject-specific CSTs in math and science, depending on the course in which they were enrolled. The CSTs are standards-based tests, which means they measure how well students are mastering specific skills defined for each grade by the state of California. The goal is for all students to score at or above proficient on the tests.
