Summary:

The Oak Harbor School District is a well-regarded 4-star district on Whidbey Island, consisting of 10 public schools serving about 5,500 students from kindergarten through 12th grade, including a standout K-12 alternative program.

Among its elementary schools, Hillcrest Elementary is the top performer, ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide with exceptional test scores, while Broad View Elementary and Olympic View Elementary rank lower. Oak Harbor Elementary is a notable success story, achieving above-average rankings despite serving a student population with significant economic need. The district's alternative school, Homeconnection, also excels academically with some of the highest proficiency rates despite its unique model and lower per-student spending.

The district's main high school, Oak Harbor High School, boasts a strong 93% graduation rate. However, a key challenge across the district is a sharp decline in math performance in middle and high school, with proficiency rates dropping from over 75% at the top elementary to just 27% in high school. Overall, the district outperforms state averages in graduation rates and science, but families should be aware of the performance differences between elementary schools and the secondary math trend.
