Summary

Olympic View Elementary is a K–5 school in Lacey, Washington, serving 552 students in an area surrounded mainly by other North Thurston Public Schools elementary schools. The school has a 14.7-to-1 student-teacher ratio and serves a relatively economically mixed population, with 46.74% of students qualifying for free or reduced-price lunch. Statewide, it ranks in the 59th percentile, placing it in the middle-to-upper-middle range of Washington elementary schools.

Math is the school’s clearest strength. In 2025–26, 53.43% of students were proficient in math, compared with 38.63% districtwide and 43.11% statewide. Results were especially strong in third grade, at 66.67%, and fourth grade, at 56.86%. Among nearby schools, only Pleasant Glade Elementary and Meadows Elementary had higher overall math proficiency. English language arts proficiency was 49.82%, slightly below district and state levels, while science was approximately average at 50%. Olympic View outperformed several nearby schools in overall academic standing, including Seven Oaks Elementary, Lacey Elementary, and Mountain View Elementary, but trailed higher-ranked schools such as South Bay Elementary and Evergreen Forest Elementary.

The main concern is a sharp ELA decline, from 61.45% proficiency in 2024–25 to 49.82% in 2025–26. Fifth grade is the weakest area across subjects: math proficiency was 37.36% and ELA proficiency was 43.96%, both below state results. The school’s ranking has also softened from the 65th percentile in each of the prior two years, though it remains above its 44th-percentile result in 2020–21. Its improved student-teacher ratio and solid math performance are encouraging, while ELA recovery, fifth-grade achievement, science, and consistent results for student groups appear to be the most important areas to monitor.

Open Quote My daughter attended kindergarten at Olympic View during the 2013/2014 year and she had a great experience. Her teacher went the extra mile to show she cared about her students. We transferred from an other elementary school so she could go here as it had the best rating in the area and we are 100% satisfied. Close Quote
