Oak Harbor Elementary

Oak Harbor Elementary serves 403 students in pre-kindergarten through fourth grade in Oak Harbor, Washington. With a student-teacher ratio of 13.9:1, classes stay small enough for teachers to give meaningful individual attention across every grade level. The school earns a composite score of 9.6 out of 10, rated Exceptional, with academic performance scoring 9.4 and growth scoring a near-perfect 9.9.

That growth score is particularly telling — it measures how much students advance year over year, not just where they start. Oak Harbor Elementary ranks third out of 1,202 elementary schools statewide and sits at number one among all 11 schools in Oak Harbor, outperforming 100 percent of public schools in Washington. For parents comparing options in the area, the numbers make a clear case.

This is not a school that performs well on one metric while slipping on another — the academic and growth scores align closely, suggesting consistent, school-wide execution rather than a single strong program carrying the results. Families relocating to Oak Harbor or choosing between district options will find Oak Harbor Elementary near the top of any honest comparison, ranking third out of 2,225 public schools across the entire state of Washington.
