Oak Harbor Intermediate School

Oak Harbor Intermediate sits in a Navy town on Whidbey Island, where a tight-knit military community mixes with longtime Pacific Northwest locals — giving the school a uniquely diverse, transient-yet-welcoming culture that kids tend to adapt to quickly. Academics are solid across the board, with science scores standing out as a particular strength, which makes sense in a place surrounded by saltwater, wildlife, and the kind of natural environment that sparks curiosity. Families who value outdoor living, a strong sense of community, and a school that punches above its weight for a mid-sized island town will feel right at home here.
