History

Prior to 1969, students in Allendale Public Schools attended high school at Hudsonville High School, Zeeland High School, and Coopersville High School. In fall 1969, a high school was built as an addition to the elementary/junior high school at 6561 Lake Michigan Drive. That year, the school district had 515 students in grades kindergarten through nine. The current Allendale High School opened in the fall of 1997.
Four district schools share a campus on Learning Lane, the first being Evergreen Elementary, opened in 2004. The name ‘Learning Lane’ was selected by 25 students in a naming contest, and the grand prize winner was then randomly chosen from among them. The 7-year old winner, Savannah Wells, received a $100 savings bond. She told the Grand Rapids Press, "It's a good name for the road since you learn at school."
Evergreen Elementary was joined by Oakwood Intermediate and Allendale Middle School in 2009. Allendale Early Childhood Center was built there in 2019.
