Summary

Boston Harbor Elementary is a small public school in Olympia, Washington, serving 178 students in prekindergarten through fifth grade as part of the Olympia School District. The school is rated four stars and ranks in the 81st percentile statewide, placing it among the stronger elementary schools in Washington. Its small enrollment may allow for a close-knit school experience, although percentages can change more noticeably from year to year at smaller schools.

Academically, Boston Harbor stands out among the nearby schools provided. In 2025–2026, 69.23% of students met standards in English language arts and 65.22% met standards in math, compared with 63.44% and 50.36% across the district. It led the other listed Olympia School District schools in both subjects, including Roosevelt Elementary School, which had the next-highest same-district results. Boston Harbor’s math performance was especially notable compared with Julia Butler Hansen Elementary, Lincoln Elementary School, Madison Elementary School, and Garfield Elementary School. Fifth-grade math was the school’s strongest result at 80.77%, while fourth-grade math, at 52.94%, is the clearest area to monitor.

The school’s results have generally improved since 2022–2023, with ELA rising from 58.82% to 69.23% and math increasing from 54.46% to 65.22%. Boston Harbor also posted stronger results than nearby Pleasant Glade Elementary and Olympic View Elementary in the latest comparisons. Its per-student spending was relatively low among listed Olympia schools, and its student-teacher ratio was moderate rather than the area’s lowest. The latest science result is suppressed by the state and should be considered unknown, not a zero or a sign of weak performance. Families comparing schools should also remember that enrollment size, student needs, and school populations differ, so proficiency percentages do not tell the whole story.
