You can also get into Grant if you live in South Mission Hills/Middleton– i.e., west of Goldfinch but South of Washington.
My daughter’s at Grant now– with the exception of one teacher, we’ve been pretty satisfied with the school. As a former magnet school, there is the type of diversity that I desire– namely, kids without a sense of entitlement whose parents value education and have worked to get them into Grant. Nothing like a little hunger to spur that work ethic…
As for high school, some people intentionally opt into sending their kids to the IB program at Roosevelt.
