Elementary Schools in Vashon Island School District

Summary:

The Vashon Island School District has one elementary school, Chautauqua Elementary, serving about 480 students from pre-kindergarten through 5th grade on Vashon Island.

Chautauqua Elementary is a consistently solid performer, earning 4-star ratings and ranking in the top quarter of Washington elementary schools. Its students score well above state averages in all subjects, with science being a particular area of excellence—nearly 25 points above the state average. The school shows effective teaching, with student proficiency in both English and math improving noticeably as children move from 3rd to 5th grade.

An interesting point is that while the Vashon Island School District as a whole is a top-tier, 5-star district, the elementary school's ranking, though strong, is a bit lower. This suggests the district's high standing may be driven more by its secondary schools. For parents, this means your child will attend a good school with a notable strength in science, but there is room for growth, particularly in early-grade math, to match the district's overall excellence.
