Northview Public Schools is a public school district in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. It serves the Northview portion of Plainfield Township and parts of Grand Rapids, Grand Rapids Township and Ada Township.
The high school, Crossroads Middle School, North Oakview Elementary, and the district administration building share a campus on the west side of Hunsberger Avenue NE.
History Oakview school district, Northview Public Schools' predecessor, was formed in 1859. It and three other districts north of Grand Rapids (Atwater, Richardson, and Peach Grove) did not have high schools of their own, so they consolidated around 1960 to form Northview Public Schools to request a bond issue to build a high school. The high school opened in fall 1962. The first class graduated in 1965.
Additions were built at the high school in 1971 and 1998. In 2014, the 1961 section was rebuilt and the newer sections were renovated.
