Summary

Olympic View Elementary School is a public, high-need K–8 school in Federal Way, Washington, serving 547 students as part of the Federal Way School District. Its 82.63% free- or reduced-price lunch rate reflects the economic challenges many families face, and its 17.2-to-1 student-teacher ratio is higher than that of most nearby Federal Way schools.

Academic results remain below district and state averages, although the school is moving in a positive direction. In 2025–26, 24.92% of students were proficient in English language arts, 21.55% in math, and 24.42% in science. These were the lowest ELA and math results among the nearby Federal Way schools examined. The school ranked in the 9th percentile statewide, an improvement from the 2nd percentile in 2023–24. Because Olympic View Elementary School serves through 8th grade while most nearby comparison schools serve only elementary grades, its all-grade results are not perfectly comparable. Within the school, 6th grade was a particular challenge, with 16.67% proficiency in ELA and 17.39% in math.

Nearby results show considerable variation. Twin Lakes Elementary School posted 50.64% ELA and 44.23% math proficiency despite also serving a relatively high-need population, while Crescent Heights Elementary School and N.E. Tacoma Elementary School in the Tacoma School District ranked in the 74th and 66th percentiles, respectively. Parents may want to ask about plans for literacy and math intervention, especially in grades 4–7, staffing levels, and how the school is building on stronger results among some student groups and in 8th grade.
