Oak Harbor Elementary

Public Grades PK, KG-4

Summary

Oak Harbor Elementary is a well-regarded public school serving about 411 students from Pre-K through 4th grade in the Oak Harbor School District, a district serving a community with a significant military presence near Naval Air Station Whidbey Island.

The school has shown impressive, sustained improvement over the past decade and now consistently earns a 4-star rating, performing above both the district and state averages in English and Math. What truly sets Oak Harbor Elementary apart is its exceptional success in supporting students from low-income families and military-connected families, historically ranking these groups among the very best in the entire state. This makes it a standout for equitable education within the Oak Harbor School District, where school experiences can vary.

When compared to nearby schools, Oak Harbor Elementary achieves strong academic results while serving a student population with greater economic need than some higher-performing peers like Hillcrest Elementary. It also significantly outperforms other district schools with similar poverty rates, such as Olympic View Elementary and Broad View Elementary. While the school's most recent statewide ranking dipped slightly from its peak, its long-term trend is strongly positive, and its focused support for specific student groups remains a defining strength.

Wednesday, January 18, 2012

Both of my students attended this school. The staff is warm and helpful and easily reached. After reviewing the numbers shown on this site though, I would have to say that those stats aren't quite correct. Most classes are maxed out with 25-28 students per teacher. That is almost 10 more than what schooldigger lists. This tends to be true for the district as a whole. Over all it is a wonderful school and my children always enjoyed their teachers. Close Quote
