I've had kids go there with the old principal and with the new principal. The new principal by far is wonderful. She interacts with all of the kids. It being such a small school makes it possible for all staff to know all kids in all grades not just who's in their class. I think the school is doing fantastic things especially for the kids who don't do well in big group settings. I did have some concern with the fifth grade teacher a couple of years ago. She didn't seem to address conflicts accurately between students and her class. My daughter told me that this teacher would tell students that they had body odor. My special needs son loves it there and is always happy and excited to go. As far as the special needs program my opinion isn't based on the school individually because those staff members go to all of the schools. But the whole process of evaluating and getting these extra services for these kids that need it is too lengthy. Also the the process and evaluating for the gifted program seems too particular. My oldest tested two times but didn't qualify because his maturity level was low even though he tested amazing in the academic parts. I assumed that the gifted program was for gifted children not well-behaved mature children. I feel like my son didn't benefit to everything that should have been offered to him based on his comprehension in the subjects I'm those grade levels.

Grandview Elementary is truly a hidden gem! The small class sizes enable teachers to provide each student with the individual attention they deserve, fostering a supportive and personalized learning experience. The staff genuinely care about every child, making the school feel more like a family than just a place to learn.

The sense of community here is amazing—parents, teachers, and students all work together to create a warm, welcoming, and family-friendly environment. Communication is excellent, and it's clear that the staff are invested in helping every student succeed both academically and personally.

I think it is a good school. The gym is too small when there are concerts or other activities. The library is nice and organized , but does not have areas to sit and read except at tables.

I agree I do not recommend this school you will spend the majority of the school year having a meeting with the principal and school (support workers) about your child talking in class....which is crazy bc you tell me one child that doesn't talk in class. This school is the first school i've had my child in that calls you to the school for a urgent meeting about somthing that could have easily been noticed to you by a letter. For example if your 8yr old child calls someone a bighead you need to meet with the school yea its that ridiculous yea they shouldnt call names but geez send me a letter and ill handle it. If I could take my child to another school I would in a heartbeat...focus more on education than trying to weed kids out bc they blink definitely counting sown the days until I can get them out of this school and I hope and pray that parents that research school before they send their child anywhere reads this do not go here....positive note the afterschool program is great and I wont say all the teachers are this way...beware
