The Grifton School District was established in March 1912 and a one-room schoolhouse operated at SE29-27-23W in what is now the Municipality of Grandview. In 1967, the district was dissolved and its catchment area became part of the Grandview Consolidated School District and later the Intermountain School Division. The former school building is gone but its former teacherage was present at the time of a 2026 site visit.
