Lafayette Elementary School

Lafayette Elementary sits in Albany, a mid-size Willamette Valley city with a strong working-class character and a tight-knit community feel — the kind of place where neighbors still know each other's names. The school serves a diverse student population and is working through some academic challenges, making it a good fit for families who value community involvement and want to roll up their sleeves alongside teachers and staff. Families who prioritize a close neighborhood school experience over test scores, and who are looking to be part of a school's growth, may find Lafayette a welcoming place to land.
