The ending '-er' is often used in German to refer to a male person who belongs to a place or thing. A 'Grundschüler' (elementary school student) is therefore someone who belongs to the 'Grundschule' (elementary school).

'der Schüler' and 'der Grundschüler' both belong to the area of school. 'der Schüler' is the general term for a person who attends a school. 'der Grundschüler' is more specific and refers to a child in elementary school, so usually in the first years of school. The words can be confused because every Grundschüler is also a Schüler. If the age or type of school is important, 'Grundschüler' fits better. If that is not important, 'Schüler' is enough.
