It belongs to the Western Boone County Com School District, a 5-star district ranked 35th of 374 Indiana districts, placing it in the 91st percentile. Because the ZIP code contains no middle or high school, families living here would attend secondary school outside the immediate area.

Granville Wells is a stable, high-performing school. It ranked 147 of 1,015 in 2025–2026, placing in the 86th percentile with 4 stars — essentially unchanged from 142 of 1,005 the year before and 156 of 1,011 the year before that. In every grade-level and subject where Indiana provided a state figure, the school exceeded the state proficiency rate, including 3rd grade Math at 69.77% versus 51.9% statewide, 5th grade Social Studies at 66.13% versus 47.2%, 3rd grade ELA at 62.79% versus 40.8%, and 6th grade Science at 62.5% versus 41.2%. Chronic absenteeism in 2024–2025 was 9.1%, nearly identical to the district's 9.0% and roughly half the state's 16.7% — a notable strength. Free/reduced lunch was 42.16%, per-student spending was $10,659, and the student-teacher ratio was 17.6.

The main comparative challenge is the district itself, which is exceptionally strong. The school trails district averages in 2025–2026 all-grades ELA (57.42% vs 60.69%), all-grades Science (58.65% vs 59.73%), 3rd grade ELA (62.79% vs 75.51%), 3rd grade Math (69.77% vs 82.65%), and 4th grade Math (59.65% vs 69.83%), though it remains above state benchmarks in each case. Math is a relative strength but declined from 66.67% in 2024–2025 to 61.43% in 2025–2026, still above district. ELA improved from 54.79% to 57.42%, and 5th grade Social Studies jumped from 44.9% to 66.13%.
