Schools in Mary M Knight School District · Mason County

Nineteen public schools spread across seven districts give Mason County families a broader menu of options than the county's rural character might suggest. The schools stretch from Shelton — the county seat — out to small communities like Belfair and Grapeview, where Grapeview Elementary & Middle School ranks as the county's top performer at the 53rd percentile statewide. Southside Elementary in Shelton follows close behind at 49th. No Mason County school currently lands in the top quartile statewide, so families prioritizing high academic rankings may want to weigh nearby counties, but those drawn to smaller district environments with genuine community investment will find real options worth examining here.
