Kalmiopsis Elementary School

Brookings is a small coastal town tucked right where the redwoods meet the Oregon coast, and Kalmiopsis Elementary is the neighborhood school serving many of its families. Academic scores here fall in the middle-to-lower range statewide, so families who prioritize strong academics may want to look at supplemental support at home or through tutoring. That said, for families drawn to the rugged beauty of southern Oregon's coast — where the pace is slower, the community is tight-knit, and outdoor adventure is part of daily life — this school offers a familiar, small-town environment where kids tend to know their teachers and neighbors well.
