School Overview

Central Avenue Elementary sits in the south Tacoma area, where families tend to put down roots and stay — it's that kind of neighborhood. The school serves a diverse community and, while test scores land in the lower middle tier statewide, it's the kind of place where families who are involved and engaged can find a solid foundation for their kids. Franklin Pierce School District has been working to grow its programs, and families who want to be active participants in their child's education — rather than just drop-off-and-go — tend to find their footing here.
