Schools in Elma School District · Grays Harbor County

Thirteen districts and 32 ranked public schools spread across Grays Harbor County's coastal and inland communities give families a surprisingly broad field to navigate, from Aberdeen and Hoquiam along the harbor to smaller towns like Elma and Ocean Shores. The county's academic profile is generally modest statewide, but standouts do emerge — Satsop Elementary reaches the 81st percentile, and Montesano's schools consistently lead the county, with both Simpson Avenue Elementary and Montesano Jr-Sr High landing at the 72nd percentile. Families willing to look beyond the larger cities will find Montesano worth a close look.
