Welcome to Grout Elementary!

AN EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION AWARD-WINNING SCHOOL

Built in 1927 and named after Daniel Alexander Grout (Jan. 5, 1862 - Feb. 27, 1929), a teacher, principal and school board administrator, Grout Elementary has been serving students at 3119 SE Holgate since 1929.

Currently, Grout is a Title I school with a diverse student body. Our students come from a variety of cultures, backgrounds and languages. This diversity contributes to our thriving community.

Our Vision:

Our Mission:
Grout Elementary practices compassion and social justice. We provide an environment where all students discover the joy in learning and building a community where everyone belongs.
