Summary

Olympic Peninsula Academy (OPA) is a K-12 alternative public school serving 117 students within the highly-rated Sequim School District on Washington's scenic Olympic Peninsula.

OPA stands out for its exceptionally strong academic performance, particularly in science, where its 68% proficiency rate far exceeds both district and state averages; this strength is most pronounced in 8th grade, where over 90% of students are proficient. The school also performs well in English Language Arts and is competitive in math. Compared to other local alternative schools like Dungeness Virtual School in the same district, OPA achieves significantly higher test scores, which correlates with its substantially higher per-student spending and more favorable student-teacher ratio.

When looking at the broader landscape, OPA maintains stable, high performance compared to nearby alternatives such as Seaview Academy and Olympic Peninsula HomeConnection, serving as a model of how well-resourced alternative education can lead to academic excellence. The school's consistent results, especially in middle school science and ELA, suggest effective use of its resources to support student learning.
