Halilts Elementary School

Halilts Elementary sits on Bainbridge Island, a ferry ride away from Seattle that feels like a world apart — think wooded trails, tight-knit neighborhoods, and a community that genuinely invests in its schools. Scoring in the 94th percentile statewide, Halilts reflects the kind of strong academics you'd expect from an island where parents are deeply engaged and educators have the resources to match that energy. Families who value a smaller-town feel without sacrificing school quality — and who don't mind the scenic commute across Puget Sound — tend to thrive here.
