SEAVIEW ACADEMY

Nestled in Port Angeles on Washington's Olympic Peninsula, Seaview Academy serves a tight-knit community where the mountains meet the Strait of Juan de Fuca — a stunning setting that doesn't quite translate into strong academic outcomes, as the school ranks near the bottom of Washington state schools across English, Math, and Science. Families in this area tend to be deeply rooted in the community and drawn to the rugged, outdoorsy lifestyle that Port Angeles offers, but those prioritizing academics may want to explore additional support resources or supplemental programs. It's a school where community connection and local character run deep, even as there's clear room for growth in measured student achievement.
