Roy Elementary

Roy Elementary sits in the small, tight-knit town of Roy, a rural community tucked between Tacoma and the edge of Joint Base Lewis-McChord — making it a natural fit for military families looking for a neighborhood school with a genuine small-town feel. The school serves a community where teachers tend to know every kid by name, and families who value that personal connection over the hustle of a larger district will feel at home here. While academic scores fall below the state median, it's a school where community roots run deep and the surrounding Pierce County landscape offers a quieter, more rural way of life that many families actively seek out.
