School Overview

Tucked into the wooded, waterfront community of Gig Harbor, Purdy Elementary sits in one of Pierce County's most sought-after corners — the kind of place where families move specifically for the schools and the slower pace of Pacific Northwest life. With strong scores across English, math, and science, it's a well-rounded school that draws families who want rigorous academics without sacrificing a tight-knit, community feel. If you're drawn to a small-town vibe with easy access to Tacoma and Bremerton, this part of the Peninsula School District is well worth a close look.
