Welcome!

Francis J. McGrath Elementary School is a close-knit school that values the unique strengths and backgrounds of every student. Serving 200 scholars from preschool through grade six, it is a place where relationships, community, and a love for learning come together.

Diversity is at the heart of McGrath, where many cultures, perspectives, and experiences make the school a vibrant and welcoming place. The dedicated staff works together to ensure every child feels supported, challenged, and encouraged to reach their full potential.

At McGrath, not only are we focused on academic growth, we value building confidence, character, and a sense of belonging. With a strong partnership between students, staff, and families, McGrath is more than just a school—it’s a family.

Instructional Focus

Francis J. McGrath’s school-wide focus is to ensure that all students show growth in their ability to read fluently, comprehend deeply, think critically, and respond effectively across all content areas. This will be achieved through implementation of consistent instructional practices and a standards-based curriculum as measured by formative and summative assessments and the students’ ability to clearly express their thinking across all content areas.
