Tenino Elementary School

Tenino is a small, tight-knit town tucked into the forests of southern Thurston County, the kind of place where everyone knows everyone and community roots run deep. Tenino Elementary reflects that small-town character — families here tend to value the close connections that come with a smaller school environment, even as the school works to build stronger academic outcomes across English, math, and science. If you're drawn to rural Washington living and a school where your child won't get lost in the crowd, Tenino is worth a closer look.
