Seahurst Elementary School

Seahurst Elementary sits in the quieter, residential pocket of Burien near the Puget Sound shoreline, a part of King County that feels a bit removed from the Seattle hustle but still close enough for easy access. With test scores hovering around the lower end of the state rankings, this school would be a better fit for families who prioritize community connection and a relaxed neighborhood feel over highly competitive academics. Highline School District serves a diverse, working-class population, and for families who value that environment and want their kids growing up in a tight-knit, unpretentious corner of the greater Seattle area, Seahurst can be a comfortable home base.
