School Overview

Lafayette Elementary sits in the heart of West Seattle's Fairmount Park neighborhood, where tree-lined streets and a tight-knit community vibe make it feel like a small town within the city. The school posts strong numbers across the board — especially in science — and tends to attract families who value solid academics alongside an engaged, involved parent community. West Seattle itself has a distinct identity from the rest of the city, with the Alaska Junction nearby, easy access to Lincoln Park and the waterfront, and a neighborhood pride that often keeps families rooted here for years.
