Best Public Schools in Sequim, WA

Sequim, Washington, has six schools serving about 2,580 students from preschool through Grade 12, including two elementary schools, one middle school, one high school, and two alternative programs within the Sequim School District. Greywolf Elementary School serves preschool through Grade 2, while Helen Haller Elementary School serves Grades 2–5; Sequim Middle School serves Grades 6–8; and Sequim Senior High serves Grades 9–12. Olympic Peninsula Academy and Dungeness Virtual School serve students across much of the K–12 range.

For families comparing traditional schools, Helen Haller Elementary School stands out in math, with 58.61% of students proficient in 2025–2026, well above the state rate of 43.11%, although its English language arts, math, and science results all declined from the previous year. Sequim Middle School shows the strongest recent momentum: its ranking rose to the 70th percentile, and all three tested subjects improved, led by exceptional science performance at 63.54%. Sequim Senior High has a strong 91.4% graduation rate, above both district and state rates. Its English language arts and science results exceeded the state, but math remained a notable weakness.

The alternative programs have more varied results. Olympic Peninsula Academy posted the highest reported English language arts rate in the city, at 66.22%, while its math result was lower and some science data was suppressed. Dungeness Virtual School had the lowest results in all three reported subjects, especially math, and also had the highest student-teacher ratio and lowest spending per student; its virtual structure means those figures need additional context. Suppressed results should be treated as unknown, not as zero. Overall, science is a district strength, Helen Haller is the math leader, Sequim Middle is improving fastest, and math support—particularly in middle school, high school, and virtual education—is the clearest area for attention.
