Our Lady of Fatima School is a Catholic K-8 parish school in Seattle's Magnolia neighborhood, founded in 1954 and one of 73 Catholic schools in the Archdiocese of Seattle. The structure is single-stream — one class per grade through 8th — alongside half-day and full-day Pre-K and PK-4 programs.
In the Seattle Catholic K-8 landscape, Our Lady of Fatima sits among the well-regarded archdiocesan parish schools that families weigh against each other when choosing by neighborhood: St. Joseph (Capitol Hill), Assumption-St. Bridget and St. Catherine (north Seattle), Holy Names Academy preparatory feeders, and St. Anne (Queen Anne, the closest geographic peer). The shared profile is small enrollment, parish-anchored community, and graduation pipelines into the local Catholic high schools — Holy Names, O'Dea, Bishop Blanchet, Seattle Prep — rather than the secular independent track.
Programmatically, Our Lady of Fatima offers the standard archdiocesan elementary curriculum supplemented with art, computer science, library, music, PE, and Spanish specialists, plus reading and math support staff and a full-time counselor. The 9,000-volume library and dedicated science lab are above the parish-school baseline. The tradeoff for families considering Magnolia parish schools is the same one Catholic parents weigh elsewhere: smaller scale and faith-formation continuity in exchange for less depth in advanced or differentiated academics than the secular K-8 independents (Bertschi, Spruce Street, UCDS) offer at multiples of the tuition.
