Pleasant Glade Elementary

Pleasant Glade Elementary sits right in the heart of Lacey, a city that's grown into one of the most family-friendly communities in the South Puget Sound region — close enough to Olympia for weekend adventures, but with its own parks, trails, and tight-knit neighborhoods to call home. The school lands right in the middle of the pack statewide, making it a solid, dependable choice for families who want a grounded public school experience without the pressure of a hyper-competitive environment. It tends to appeal to families who value consistency and community as much as test scores, and the surrounding area — with easy access to nature, good amenities, and a genuinely livable pace — makes it an easy place to put down roots.
