About schools in Jefferson County

Four districts and ten ranked public schools make Jefferson County a compact but navigable landscape for families weighing their options on Washington's Olympic Peninsula. The county stretches across remote terrain — from Port Townsend's Victorian waterfront to the tiny community of Brinnon along Hood Canal — and that geography shapes schooling here in real ways. Port Townsend High School leads the county at the 91st percentile statewide, with strong results in both English and math, while Brinnon Elementary punches well above its size at the 70th percentile. Families drawn to smaller schools and rural settings will find Jefferson County worth a close look.
