Lacey Elementary

Lacey is a steadily growing city just east of Olympia, with a suburban feel that attracts families looking for more space while staying connected to the state capital's amenities. Lacey Elementary sits in that everyday, working-family fabric of the community, and while its academic scores land in the middle-to-lower range for Washington state, it serves a broad mix of students in a district that's been navigating rapid population growth. Families who prioritize a close-knit school community in an affordable, accessible part of the South Sound may find it a comfortable fit, especially if they're willing to supplement learning at home or lean on the district's support resources.
