Today Grant is home to 1565 students: making it the largest high school in the Portland Public School System. Despite its size Grant ranks high with parents and students on greatschools.com, scoring 7 out of 10 for overall experience. Remarks on that website praise the principal, teachers and programs available at Grant. Test scores are above average at Grant and the completion rate is high. All of these things are what make Grant so desirable a school that people actually move into the district in order to send their children here.
