Summary:

Port Angeles, Washington, has 11 schools serving students from elementary through high school, including five elementary schools, one middle school, two high schools, and three alternative programs. Most are part of the Port Angeles School District, which ranks in the 76th percentile statewide; Crescent School and Olympic Peninsula HomeConnection are part of the Crescent School District. Together, the schools enroll about 3,818 students, with programs ranging from large conventional schools to very small alternative and home-based options.

Among elementary schools, Hamilton Elementary stands out overall, ranking in the 81st statewide percentile and leading the group in English language arts and science. Dry Creek Elementary has the strongest elementary math result, while Franklin Elementary posted especially strong science results. Roosevelt Elementary School showed the largest recent improvement across English, math, and science. Jefferson Elementary ranks closest to the statewide midpoint. Science is the clearest strength across all five elementary schools, while math is more uneven. At the middle-school level, Stevens Middle School performs below district averages in English, math, and science, making it an important focus for improvement.

Port Angeles High School is the strongest traditional high school, with high English and science proficiency, an 85.5% graduation rate, and a 74th-percentile ranking; its main weakness is math. Lincoln High School is much smaller and has lower reported graduation outcomes, while Seaview Academy has the lowest graduation rate and highest dropout rate in the group. Alternative programs vary considerably: Olympic Peninsula HomeConnection reports particularly strong English results, and Crescent School has comparatively strong science but weaker math. Because the data combines different reporting years and some results are suppressed, parents should treat individual figures as useful indicators rather than perfect year-to-year comparisons.
