Elementary Schools in Olympia School District

Summary:

The Olympia School District in Washington is home to 11 diverse elementary schools serving students from prekindergarten through 5th grade. The district's schools vary in their academic performance, student demographics, and socioeconomic factors, with several standout institutions leading the way.

Among the top-performing elementary schools in the district are Centennial Elementary, which consistently ranks among the best in the state, as well as McKenny Elementary and Pioneer Elementary, both of which excel in English Language Arts, Math, and Science. Additionally, Boston Harbor Elementary stands out as a high-performing school, ranking in the top 20% of Washington elementary schools.

However, the data also reveals significant performance gaps between the top-performing schools and those with lower proficiency rates, which are often correlated with higher free and reduced lunch rates. While the Olympia School District as a whole performs well compared to state averages, there is still room for improvement in ensuring equitable access to quality education for all students within the district.
