What Parents Should Know

At 119 students, Clallam Bay High & Elementary is on the smaller side. That usually buys more individual attention and teachers who know every kid by name, with the trade-off of fewer electives and extracurriculars than a larger school can staff. Ask what activities it actually offers.

Clallam Bay High & Elementary sits in a rural area, which can mean longer drives for some families. Rural schools are often community anchors with smaller classes, but check transportation, after-school options, and access to specialized services before you commit.

43% of students at Clallam Bay High & Elementary were chronically absent in the 2022-23 school year, above the national average.
