Castle Rock Elementary

Castle Rock is a small, tight-knit logging town along the Cowlitz River in Southwest Washington, where community runs deep and everyone tends to know everyone. Castle Rock Elementary reflects that small-town character — families here are looking for a close, familiar school environment rather than a high-achieving academic powerhouse, and the school's stronger science scores suggest some bright spots worth noting. It's a good fit for families rooted in the area who value community connection and are prepared to supplement academics at home or through outside resources.
