Part of Tri County Area Schools, Sand Lake Elementary School welcomes third through fifth graders. The district was formed in 1962 when the Sand Lake and Howard City districts merged as part of the School Reorganization Plan to meet federal and state education department requirements. Students from Kent, Montcalm and Newaygo counties can attend Tri County schools.
The curriculum is based on the Michigan Department of Education Common Core State Standards and follows the Michigan Continuous Improvement Plans. Enrichment activities include music, movement, art and technology to supplement the core academic training provided by experienced teachers. Child care is offered before and after school, and summer programming expands educational opportunities. In summer, students meet at MacNaughton Elementary School, just under 10 miles north, for exploratory experiences in science, physical exercise and outdoor play.
Sand Lake Elementary is one of only two elementary schools in Tri County and has smaller class sizes than the state average. The school is dedicated to connecting students to broader programs in the surrounding counties. The welcoming campus is located on the southern edge of the village of Sand Lake, just beside its namesake lake.
