Warrenton Grade School

Warrenton sits right on the northern Oregon coast, tucked between the Columbia River and the Pacific — a tight-knit fishing and working-class community where neighbors genuinely know each other. Warrenton Grade School reflects that community feel, and while its academic scores land in the middle-to-lower range statewide, families here tend to value the close relationships kids build in a small-town school where they're not just a number. It's a good fit for families drawn to coastal living, outdoor adventure, and a slower pace — just know that families focused on top academic outcomes may want to look at supplemental support or enrichment options outside of school.
