We have loved our experience with Artondale. The teachers are wonderful and communicative and there is a great community of parents and families.

Overall good school. High turnover in principals over the past several years, new 4th principal since 2019 is starting this year. Seems to effect loyal teachers who have been there through transitions. Great teachers. Low diversity. VPO is active but no where in comparison to neighboring schools. Small group of parents spear community events and there seems to be a pattern of disconnect in overall family involvement with the VPO.

Choosing Gig Harbor Academy for elementary school has been one of the best decisions we’ve made. Our child is thriving—academically, socially, and emotionally—through engaging lessons and individualized attention. The teachers know each student, provide timely feedback, and encourage independent thinking. The school’s community feels truly welcoming, with active parent involvement, clear communication, and events that bring families together. We value the safe, nurturing environment and the emphasis on character as well as academics. If you’re looking for a place where your child can flourish within a supportive community, Gig Harbor Academy is a top choice. Their tagline is “education beyond a classroom” which they truly embrace.
