School Overview

Chinook Elementary sits in Auburn's working-class south end, a community that's grown increasingly diverse over the years and has a strong sense of neighborhood identity. The school's academics are a work in progress — scores in English and math trail state averages — though families who are hands-on about supplementing learning at home may find it a manageable fit. Auburn itself offers affordable housing compared to much of King County, making it a landing spot for families priced out of Seattle and Tacoma, and Chinook reflects that mix of cultures and backgrounds that defines the area.
