School Overview

Southside Elementary sits in Shelton, a small timber-town community in Mason County where neighbors tend to know each other and the pace of life feels genuinely unhurried. The school lands right around the middle of the pack statewide, with solid math scores and English close behind — a reasonable fit for families looking for a stable, community-rooted school without the intensity of bigger urban districts. It's the kind of place that appeals to families who value a tight-knit feel and don't mind trading big-city amenities for easy access to the outdoors, with Hood Canal and Olympic National Forest practically in the backyard.
