Cape Flattery School District

What Cape Flattery School District does

Cape Flattery School District (#401) is a public K-12 school district serving approximately 479 students across the remote northwestern tip of Washington State's Olympic Peninsula, in the communities of Neah Bay, Clallam Bay, and Sekiu. The district operates three schools — Neah Bay Elementary (K-5), Neah Bay Secondary (6-12), and Clallam Bay School (K-12) — and emphasizes place-based, culturally relevant education deeply integrated with Makah tribal community partnerships, formalized through an Indian Policies and Procedure Committee. Reported outcomes include a 90+% graduation rate and an average of 10.2 years of teacher experience.

The district's core technology stack centers on a 1:1 Chromebook program running Google Workspace for Education, with Qmlativ (Skyward) as the student information system and ParentSquare as the family communication platform. Supporting tools include document cameras, smart screens, and K-20 video conferencing that enables remote staff training without travel costs. Auxiliary platforms (GoFan for ticketing, Arbiter Sports for athletics, FinalForms for forms, Safe Schools Training for compliance) round out the operational layer.

CFSD is a government state entity, not a commercial enterprise. Revenue derives entirely from federal, state, and local tax allocations, with no discretionary pricing. Food services are provided at no charge through the Community Eligibility Provision, and the only disclosed direct-to-family charge is a $45 yearbook purchase. The district is governed by an elected five-member Board of Directors with Superintendent Michelle Parkin as chief executive. Active strategic initiatives include a 2025-2028 Strategic Plan and a state-funded Neah Bay campus relocation out of the tsunami inundation zone.
