Summary:
Schools in Chimacum, Washington, include three schools serving 557 students in the Chimacum School District: Chimacum Elementary School serves grades 2–6, Chimacum Junior/Senior High School serves grades 7–12, and PI Program offers an alternative K–12 program. The district has no separate middle school, since grades 7 and 8 are included in the junior/senior high school.
Chimacum Junior/Senior High School is the strongest overall performer. It ranks in the 68th statewide percentile, has a 3-star rating, and earned 65.69% proficiency in English language arts, 36.00% in math, and 58.33% in science in 2025–2026. Its ELA and science results exceeded state averages, and its 87% graduation rate was higher than both the district and state rates. The school also improved substantially in all three subjects compared with the prior year. By contrast, Chimacum Elementary School had lower results—36.60% in ELA, 25.77% in math, and 47.83% in science—and declined in each subject year over year. Science was its relative strength, while math was the most consistent challenge across grades.
PI Program serves a smaller, distinct student population and reports the highest free/reduced-price lunch rate. Its 2025–2026 ELA proficiency was 19.05% and science proficiency was 36.36%; its math result was suppressed and should be considered unknown, not zero. Its 73% graduation rate was below the district and state rates, but comparisons should account for its alternative K–12 structure and different student needs. Overall, families should view the high school as the district’s main academic strength, while elementary math and ELA are the clearest areas needing improvement. The high school’s strong seventh-grade ELA and recent gains in science may offer useful examples for continued district improvement.
