Alpac Elementary School

Alpac Elementary sits in the small city of Pacific, tucked in the southern corner of King County where the suburbs start to give way to a quieter, more small-town feel — a bit off the radar compared to the flashier parts of the greater Seattle area, but that's part of its charm. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with math being a slight bright spot, making it a solid option for families who value a grounded, community-oriented environment without the intensity of more competitive school zones nearby. Families drawn to Auburn School District's variety of programs and who appreciate the affordability and slower pace of Pacific compared to its pricier neighbors will feel right at home here.
