Louisa Boren STEM K-8

Louisa Boren STEM K-8 sits in the Delridge neighborhood of West Seattle, a part of the city that's increasingly attracting families looking for a more grounded, community-oriented feel away from the busier corridors of Capitol Hill or Queen Anne. The school's STEM focus gives it a clear identity — families who want their kids immersed in hands-on science and technology learning from the early grades tend to gravitate here. Scores land in the mid-range for Seattle, so it's a solid fit for families who value the thematic programming and neighborhood school feel over chasing top-of-the-chart academics.
