Summary

Voyager Elementary is a consistently high-performing K-5 public school serving 443 students in the highly-rated Peninsula School District in Gig Harbor, WA.

The school stands out for its exceptional support for special education students, ranking in the 91st percentile statewide for this group, and for achieving strong academic results across all subjects while spending less per student than most nearby schools like Vaughn Elementary School or Harbor Heights Elementary School. While its overall proficiency rates in math, English, and science are well above state averages, it's important to note that some peer schools, such as Purdy Elementary School, now score slightly higher.

An interesting finding is that Voyager shows an unusual performance gap where male students currently outperform female students, which is the opposite of typical elementary school patterns. The school is part of a remarkable cluster of high-quality elementary schools in the district, though its relative ranking among Washington schools has gradually declined over the past decade despite maintaining excellent scores.
