Gravelly Lake K-12 Academy

Gravelly Lake K-12 Academy serves students across all grade levels within the Clover Park School District in Pierce County, but families should know that academic performance here sits near the bottom of Washington state rankings, with particularly low scores in math and science. The Lakewood area has a lot going for it — proximity to Joint Base Lewis-McChord makes it a hub for military families who may not have much choice in school placement, and that transient population can make building consistent academic momentum a real challenge. Families with flexibility in their schooling options may want to explore other schools in the district or nearby areas before settling here.
