Grand Island Central School District serves kindergarten and first grade at Charlotte Sidway Elementary, followed by Huth Road or William Kaegebein for grades 2–5. Students come together at Veronica E. Connor Middle School for grades 6–8 before entering Grand Island High School for grades 9–12.
High school options include Advanced Placement classes, college-credit French and Spanish, and technical training through Erie 1 BOCES. The Academy of Finance combines business coursework, college-course opportunities, and a paid summer internship. Special education emphasizes learning alongside age-appropriate peers with additional classroom support. When that setting cannot meet a child's needs, the district works with families and other schools or providers to arrange a suitable program.
