Grantham Elementary

Clarkston sits along the Snake River at the Idaho border, a close-knit community where the pace is slower and neighbors tend to know each other well. Grantham Elementary serves families in this blue-collar river town, and while its academic scores fall below state averages, it's part of a small district where kids aren't just a number. Families who value a tight community feel and want their children to grow up with deep roots in the Inland Northwest may find Clarkston's sense of place more than makes up for what it lacks in test score rankings.
