Kittitas Elementary School

Kittitas Elementary sits in the heart of a small, tight-knit agricultural town in the wide-open Kittitas Valley, about 25 minutes east of Ellensburg. The school serves a close rural community where families tend to know each other well, and kids grow up with a real sense of place — surrounded by ranches, mountains, and the slower pace of eastern Washington life. It's a solid neighborhood school that will appeal most to families who value that small-town atmosphere and community connection over the academic intensity of larger suburban districts.
