Spending varies widely: smaller schools like Grandville East Elementary School spend over $20,000 per student, while the larger Grandville Oakestown Intermediate School spends just $12,968 yet achieves comparable scores. Grandville Middle School shows a typical "middle school dip," with higher absenteeism and lower 7th grade math scores, while Grandville Grand View Elementary School and Grandville West Elementary School remain solid mid-tier options. Overall, this district offers strong academics, but smaller schools show more year-to-year ranking volatility, so parents should look beyond single-year data.
