Summary

Olympic View Elementary is a public K-5 school serving 552 students in Lacey, Washington, within the North Thurston Public Schools district, and it stands out for achieving strong academic results while serving a diverse student community.

The school consistently outperforms expectations, with student proficiency in both English and Math exceeding both district and state averages. This is particularly impressive when compared to nearby schools with similar student populations. For instance, while Lydia Hawk Elementary is less than a mile away, Olympic View's proficiency rates are significantly higher, demonstrating that the school's specific programs and teaching are making a notable difference. The school also operates very efficiently, spending less per student than many neighboring schools like Pleasant Glade Elementary and Lacey Elementary while achieving better academic outcomes.

Olympic View shows remarkable strengths in supporting specific student groups, with historically high performance and continuous improvement noted in recent years. The school has also successfully narrowed previous performance gaps between male and female students. However, parents should be aware that performance in 5th-grade science has been an area for growth, and the school is actively working to improve support for students in special education and for multi-racial students, where progress has been more variable. Overall, the data paints a picture of a responsive and effective school that is successfully helping its students thrive.

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
