Satsop School
The Satsop School District's elementary school was constructed in 1902. It is one of the oldest operating rural schoolhouses in Washington State. While not a landmark, the buildings on site have great historical significance for the community and have kept most of its original fabric and details such as a bell tower with the original bell that still rings to signify the start of school and end of recess.
The schoolhouse is home to the District's 63 students, grades K-6. There are three classrooms that serve multiple grades: K-1, 2-3, 4-6. Higher grade levels transfer to nearby Elma School District. The schoolhouse also includes an addition constructed in the 1970s consisting of a small library area, a small multipurpose meeting space, administrative shared office space, and a small area shared for special education, maintenance, and storage use. On the same 3-acre site, there is a multi-purpose gymnasium building and adjacent covered play area. A 750-sf storage shed was added directly north of the schoolhouse and east of the gymnasium in 2023 for maintenance and archives use. The site is partially fenced and includes a playground with play equipment, a softball field, and open play areas. A non-paved student drop-off and pick-up loop is at the front of the schoolhouse, and parking is just west of the main building front entrance.
