My kid's middle school had a small lot for staff and about a dozen additional spaces. Overflow parking was on the street. Zero need for a giant parking lot. If grandma can't walk the two blocks, then drop her off closer. Everyone else is less than 5 minutes from the school the handful of times a year there was a schoolwide event. The high school had a giant parking lot but it was completely filled with student's cars and had a waitlist for permits.

The schools I remember from denser city living would have had you parking far more than 2 blocks away. Sadly, there was also a fair bit of crime not far away, either. :( Some of the schools I remember, had neighborhoods that would get swamped with people parking all over the street. Many of the locals would get rather annoyed with it. Thankfully, this wasn't that common. Even in the rural districts I'm in, now, there is no legal parking for many blocks around. Thankfully, nobody cares and the street becomes the overflow parking. Note, I am not complaining on this. I like that nobody gets into a fuss over the few times a year people park on the street like crazy.
