Summary

Grandhaven Elementary School is a K–5 school in McMinnville, Oregon (Yamhill County) serving 446 students, the second-largest elementary enrollment in McMinnville School District 40, and it ranks 262nd of 709 Oregon elementary schools (63rd percentile, 3 stars) — above average statewide, but third among the district's six elementaries.

Academically, Grandhaven beats state averages in all three subjects: 48.4% in English language arts, 42.5% in math and 31.7% in science. Math is a relative strength, and fourth grade is a clear bright spot, scoring above both district and state in ELA and math. Science is the soft spot — the one subject where the school trails its own district — and fifth-grade math is the weakest grade-level result. Locally, Memorial Elementary School (62.6% ELA, 59.5% math) and Wascher Elementary School (53.2%, 43.5%) score higher, while Willamette Elementary School, Newby Elementary School and Sue Buel Elementary trail. Over the past two years, Wascher and Willamette have both climbed while Grandhaven slipped slightly.

What makes Grandhaven notable is how much it achieves with less. It has the highest poverty rate among the district's elementaries (84.3% free/reduced lunch) and the lowest per-pupil spending ($17,962), yet still places third of six in reading and math. Chronic absenteeism has improved substantially, from 38.4% in 2022–23 to 26.7% in 2024–25 — better than the state, though still fourth locally, with Memorial at 16.6%. One trend to watch: the school's effectiveness in serving English language learners has declined sharply over several years, even as results for low-income students remain strong.
