Summary:
ZIP code 98343 has two K–12 alternative schools in the rural Crescent area: Crescent School and Olympic Peninsula HomeConnection, both part of the Crescent School District. Together, they serve 372 students, but families should keep in mind that these programs may operate differently from traditional elementary, middle, and high schools.
Olympic Peninsula HomeConnection has the stronger reported overall academic results in 2025–2026. Its English language arts proficiency was 76%, compared with 52.14% at Crescent School and 52.81% statewide. HomeConnection’s math result was 44%, roughly matching the state’s 43.11% and exceeding Crescent’s 30.09%. Its 2024–2025 results were also above the state in ELA, math, and science, although some results may reflect small testing groups or different participation patterns. Current science results for HomeConnection are suppressed, so a complete subject-by-subject comparison is not possible.
Crescent School stands out in science, with 56.82% proficiency in 2025–2026, above the state’s 50.95%. Its ELA performance was nearly statewide, but math is the clearest improvement area: proficiency fell from 42.98% the prior year, and most reported grade-level math results were below state averages. Crescent’s ELA results generally improve through the middle grades, with especially solid seventh- and eighth-grade performance. It also reports an 85% graduation rate for 2023–2024, while no school-level graduation rate is provided for HomeConnection. Reported staffing and spending differ greatly between the programs, likely reflecting their distinct instructional models, so test scores and resource figures should be considered alongside each school’s approach and fit for a student.
