School Overview

Yelm sits at the edge of Thurston County where the suburbs start giving way to open land and a slower pace of life, and Southworth Elementary fits right into that community feel. The school shows particular strength in science, which stands out for families with kids who are curious about the natural world — fitting for a town surrounded by forests and farmland. It's a solid neighborhood school that would appeal to families putting down roots in Yelm's more affordable corner of the greater Olympia area.
