Summary:
The Oak Harbor School District in Washington serves students across five elementary schools (grades K-4, with one including Pre-K), operating in a district that ranks in the state's 79th percentile.
Among these schools, Hillcrest Elementary stands out as the top performer, consistently ranking in the 92nd percentile statewide with the highest test scores in both English and math, significantly above district and state averages. In contrast, Olympic View Elementary and Broad View Elementary have lower rankings and proficiency rates. Crescent Harbor Elementary and Oak Harbor Elementary fall in the middle, with Oak Harbor Elementary showing stronger recent performance.
An interesting finding is that higher spending and smaller class sizes do not always correlate with higher test scores; Olympic View has the most resources per student but not the highest academic outcomes. The data also shows that math scores generally improve from 3rd to 4th grade, though this pattern varies by school. For parents, this highlights that while all schools are part of the same Oak Harbor School District, there are notable differences in academic performance and resources, with Hillcrest serving as a consistently high-achieving model.
