School Overview

Tucked away on the Key Peninsula, Vaughn Elementary has a small-town, tight-knit feel that's hard to find anywhere else — this is the kind of place where teachers know every kid by name and the community shows up for its school. Families who choose to live out here tend to love the rural waterfront lifestyle, with Puget Sound access, tall trees, and a slower pace that feels worlds away from the bustle of Tacoma or Gig Harbor. Performing solidly across English, math, and science, Vaughn Elementary is a great fit for families who value a grounded, community-rooted education alongside that laid-back peninsula life.
